^^^-^  HE     circus!      Magic     words! 

■     ^    j    Through  the  narrow  gateway 
^^^/    into  the  midst  of  the  hulla- 
baloo ! 
"Ladeez  an'  gentellmen!   The  great- 
est show  on  earth  is  within  these  can- 
vas walls!    Come,  see  all  the  marvels 
of  the  world!"    The  barker!    His  face 
is  familiar.  I  have  seen  that  virile  pose, 
those  gleaming  blond  locks  before!  Can 
it  be?   Is  it  possible?   It  is!   It  is  none 
other  than  my  old  Q.  H.  S.  class  mate, 
the    class    boss,    Dick     (what-a-man) 
Paulson. 

In  the  freak  tent,  those  individuals 
are  lined  up  in  view.  First,  the  fat  lady, 
Madamoiselle  Rosie,  weighing  303  1-3 
pounds.  As  I  draw  close  to  her,  she 
smiles  and  says,  "My  old  pal!  Don't 
you  remember  me?  I'm  Dotty  Dahl, 
Q.  H.  S.,  J  '32."  Dot  wants  me  to  meet 
her  hubby,  the  human  skeleton,  who 
weighs  65  pounds.  Imagine  my  surprise 


when  I  discover  that  I  am  looking  at 
the  emaciated  face  of  Bobby  Jordon. 
Bobby  greets  me  in  his  old  cheerful 
manner,  and  I  go  on  my  way,  wonder- 
ing whom  I  will  bump  into  next.  By 
jingo,  the  Siamese  twins!  Now,  I  know 
I  have  seen  them  somewhere  before. 
But  where?  Oh,  of  course,  the  Brewer 
twins  from  good  old  Quincy  High. 

Aha!  Punch  and  Judy,  childhood's 
friends!  What  is  this  I  see?  Can  it 
really  be  Henry  Fuller  and  Virginia 
Giles?  They  have  attracted  a  great 
crowd,  mostly  children,  who  seem  to  be 
enjoying  their  jokes  and  pranks. 

But,  now,  I  come  upon  the  ring.  The 
ringmaster  (Herbert  Crowley,  or  I'll  be 
hornswoggled)  snaps  his  whip  briskly. 
Here  comes  the  bareback  rider.  I  gaze 
in  admiration  upon  the  supple  form. 
She  comes  nearer  and  I  discover  that 
I  am  looking  at  the  face  of  Mildred 
Costello.  Mildred  gailv  waves  her  hand 


to  me  as  she  passes.  At  this  point  a 
band  of  wild  Indians  come  racing  in. 
With  a  whoop,  they  swing  their  toma- 
hawks around,  and  the  one  nearest  me 
barely  misses  my  head.  I  glare  indig- 
nantly at  him,  but  my  wrath  subsides 
when  I  see  that  he  is  no  other  than 
Kenneth  Burnham. 

Perhaps  if  I  take  a  walk  around  the 
grounds,  I  will  meet  some  more  ac- 
quaintances. At  the  farther  end  of  the 
tent  I  see  quite  a  crowd  gathered.  I 
have  my  share  of  curiosity,  so  I  hurry 
over  and  find  a  clown  cutting  capers. 
Under  his  paint  I  can  distinguish  the 
features  of  Robert  Putnam.  So,  Bob  is  up 
to  his  tricks  again,  I  see.  But  here  comes 
a  peanut  vendor,  and  as  I  feel  like 
munching  a  while,  I  stop  him  and  buy  a 
bag.  The  vendor  proves  to  be  no  other 
than  Jimmie  Ellis.  Jimmie  offers  me  the 
peanuts  for  nothing,  as  he  has  not  the 
heart  to  charge  a  former  classmate  for 
anything.  .  .  .  Before    I   go   home,    I 


should  like  to  visit  the  elephants.'  ;I 
always  was  interested  in  these  huge  ani- 
mals, and  besides,  I  want  to  get  fid  of 
my  peanuts.  Here  I  find  John  DiBona 
and  Carol  Barrie  serving  as  water  ten- 
ders. No  doubt,  they  were  given  these 
jobs  on  account  of  their  height.  I  had 
no  opportunity  to  speak  to  them  as  the 
elephants  happened  to  be  extremely 
thirsty.  However,  I  was  rid  of  my 
peanuts. 

But  now,  I  have  spent  the  entire  day 
visiting  the  Potter  and  Power  Circus. 
It  has  been  very  interesting,  but  it 
might  have  been  more  so,  if  Mr.  Pot- 
ter and  Mr.  Power  had  condescended  to 
mix  in  with  their  employees.  For,  were 
we  not  taught  long  ago  in  Quincy  High 
School  that  the  industrial  democracy 
was  the  best  kind  of  business?  How- 
ever, probably  they  missed  out  on  that 
valuable  information  and — S'nuff! !  I'm 
tired  from  walking  all  day,  so  don't 
blame  me  if  I  cut  this  short.

CLASS  WILL 


^~w^  E,  the  Class  of  June,  1932,  be- 
I  I  I  ing  of  as  sane  a  mind  as  the 
\JLs  longer  school  day  and  the 
depression  will  permit,  do 
hereby  leave  and  bequeath  in  our  last 
will  and  testament,  the  following: 

To  Mr.  Collins — we  feel  there  is  no 
need  to  bequeath  anything  to  Mr.  Col- 
lins, as  our  absence  will  probably  meet 
the  purpose. 

To  Mr.  Wilson — An  Austin,  so  that 
he  may  be  able  to  get  to  Quincy  Square 
in  a  hurry  and  so  catch  delinquent 
pupils. 

To  Miss  Thompson — An  automatic 
traffic  signal  to  aid  her  in  her  duties. 

To  Miss  Rizzi — One  large  club  to 
hold  off  photographers. 

To    Miss    Crockett — A    well-earned 

vacation. 

To  Miss  Clark — A  bookcase  to  hold 
the  classics  that  she  has  a  habit  of  col- 
lecting from  the  studiously-minded 
pupils. 

To  the  Student  Council— One  gross 
of  committees  to  tide  them  over  the 
coming  year. 

To  the  Page  and  Stage  Club — One 
large  copy  of  "Plays  of  Today  and  Yes- 
terday," by  whoever  wants  to  write  it, 
to  be  given  at  future  meetings. 

To  the  Girls'  Club — A  longer  week, 
so  that  they  will  have  time  to  complete 
all  their  plans  and  engagements. 

To  the  future  Basketball  Teams — The 
suggestion  that  the  baskets  be  made 
larger,  the  ball  made  smaller,  the  team 
enlarged,  so  as  to  have  one  man  on  a 
stepladder  to  make  sure  of  a  few  points. 

To  the  Track  Team — A  package  of 
Lux  to  prevent  shrinkage  when  they 
wash  their  uniforms,  in  order  to  keep 


the  morals  of  Quincy  at  their  present 
high  level. 

To  the  Tennis  Team — Crowley's  pat- 
ented tennis  racket,  designed  to  take 
advantage  of  the  strings  rather  than  the 
v/ood. 

To  the  Girls'  Field  Hockey  Team — A 
surplus  supply  of  shin-guards  so  that 
our  beaches  will  not  be  covered  with 
scarred  survivors  of  this  brutal  game. 

To  Margaret  MacDonald — The  com- 
bined successes  of  Louise  Rood  and 
Stewart  Smith  in  the  world  of  music. 

To  Arthur  Szathmary — Robert  Put- 
nam's title  of  Class  Grind. 

To  Edward  Sherman — The  role  of 
leading  man  in  Senior  Dramatics. 

To  Phyllis  Keene— Phyllis  Elliott's 
popularity. 

To  the  entering  Sophomore — A  few 
well-worn  teachers  and  a  book  of  in- 
structions on  how  to  act  around  the 
Pony,  which  we  know  will  be  helpful 
in  later  years. 

To  the  school  in  general — An  evap- 
orating system  by  which  one  is  able 

to  become  thin  air  and  pass  out  the  rear 
door  of  the  auditorium  without  being 
caught  by  a  teacher. 

We  appoint  the  Mills  Brothers  execu- 
tors of  this  our  last  will  and  testament. 

In  witness  whereof  we  have  hereunto 
set  our  hands  and  seal,  this  fifteenth 
day  of  June  in  the  year  of  our  Lord  one 
thousand  nine  hundred  and  thirty- two. 

Signed,  sealed,  published,  and  de- 
clared by  the  said  Class  of  June,  1932, 
as  their  last  will  and  testament  in  the 
presence  of  us.

JUNE  '32  HISTORY 


y^S  HE  keel  of  the  good  ship  J  '32 
■  ^  j  was  laid  with  all  due  cere- 
^^^^  mony  September  1929.  Tools 
and  tasks  were  assigned  and 
the  usual  adjustments  made.  As  the 
routine  became  familiar,  life  as  Sophs 
became  easier  to  bear.  The  first  gen- 
eral assembly  of  workingmen  was  held 
September  21,  when  Mr.  Cabot,  man- 
ager of  the  Quincy  Electric  Light  and 
Power  Company,  spoke  on  the  observ- 
ance of  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the 
incandescent  lamp.  Two  days  later  a 
concert  by  the  Music  Department  served 
to  bring  us  into  close  harmony  with  each 
other.  Splendid  trumpet  selections  were 
rendered  by  Walter  Smith  and  his  sons, 
Walter  and  Stewart.  Early  in  October 
"Doc"  Whiting,  conserver  and  director 
of  our  physical  program,  fired  the  com- 
rades with  enthusiasm  for  fall  athletics. 
Work  on  the  ship  was  now  moving 
smoothly.  The  Big  Sister  Club  held  a 
"mixer"  party  for  the  Sophomore  girls, 
at  this  time,  and  we  were  becoming 
better  acquainted  with  our  "superiors." 
Associates  attended  the  Hallowe'en 
dance  in  the  plant's  gym  as  their  first 
party.  An  Armistice  Day  program  was 
given  for  the  whole  plant  and  a  "pep" 
rally  October  20,  preparatory  to  the 
Quincy- Brockton  tiff. 

The  Christmas  dance  and  Christmas 
Assembly,  sponsored  by  the  Music  De- 
partment, followed  in  close  succession. 
After  a  brief  respite  from  our  new 
labor,  we  opened  the  New  Year  with 
an  athletic  assembly,  at  which  assembly 
there  was  the  awarding  of  letters, 
merits  of  progress,  attesting  to  the 
sturdiness  of  our  craft. 

Thus  far  the  work  on  the  hull  was 
fast  nearing  completion.  We  worked 
swiftly  with  few  events  of  importance 
until  the  Memorial  Day  program,  and 
after  that  a  few  lectures.  Work  ended 
June  19  and  we  left  "her,"  already  giv- 
ing promise  of  a  staunch  ship,  until  our 
fall  return. 

Frame  work  for  cabin  and  decks  was 


set  up  September  4,  1930,  and  then  we 
built  it  solid,  in  a  quick  succession  of 
events  and  activities.  Opening  days 
were  made  easier  by  the  fact  that  the 
workers  were  no  longer  Sophs.  At  least 
we  had  risen  to  a  new  level  and  a  cer- 
tain condescension  was  shown  the  in- 
coming employees.  Having  completed 
the  hull,  we  worked  like  mad  and  with 
the  completion  of  our  cargo  and  steer- 
age space  had  room  for  the  newcomers. 
October  7,  some  of  us  took  the  day  off 
to  see  the  Legion  parade  in  Boston.  On 
October  17,  Mr.  Herman  Smith,  Para- 
mount color  expert,  entertained  the 
entire  company  with  a  description  of 
work  behind  the  "flicker." 

The  Thalia  Club  held  its  initiation 
and  many  of  the  prominent  parts  of  the 
English  Club  play  "Station  YYYY," 
given  October  25,  were  taken  by  fellow 
workers.  The  annual  Hallowe'en  dance 
came  next  and  a  few  days  after  some  of 
the  workers  accompanied  the  football 
team  to  Augusta,  Maine.  Thanksgiving 
was  next  in  importance  with  the  plant's 
vacation.  Big  Sister's  Christmas  assem- 
bly, and  a  long  vacation,  finished  the 
year  1930;  meanwhile  our  boiler  rooms 
and  engines  were  completely  installed 
and  our  good  ship  was  standing  in  her 
"cradle." 

Branson  DeCou  gave  an  interesting 
illustrated  talk  on  the  Colorado  Indians 
and  the  following  month  some  of  the 
Alumni  furnished  a  Music  Assembly. 

On  April  17,  we  executed  the  truly 
serious  task  of  electing  ship's  officers,  to 
whom  we  entrusted  the  entire  care  of 
seeing  us  safely  to  all  ports. 

The  "Florist  Shop"  was  presented 
May  4  by  the  English  Club  with  a  few 
members  of  the  class  holding  good 
parts.  Some  attended  the  annual  Boston 
Music  Festival  at  the  Boston  Garden 
later  in  May.  Work  was  proceeding 
with  much  gusto  and  by  the  time  for 
the  summer  layoff,  we  had  turned  out  a 
three-quarter  ship — complete  up  to 
Deck  C.  She  was  shaping  up  like  a  real 
liner  and  eager  to  be  off.

THE    GOLDEN-ROD 


Senior  year  work  recommenced  Sep- 
tember 9,  1931,  and  the  task  of  finishing 
tourist  and  first-class  cabins  lay  before 


us. 


October  21,  the  plant  assembled  to 
pay  homage  to  Thomas  Edison.  Ad- 
miral Muir  spoke  of  his  wonderful 
work  and  described  him  from  personal 
acquaintance.  Swiftly  followed  the  Arm- 
istice Day  program,  the  Hallowe'en 
frohc,  and  the  Brockton  "pep"  rally. 
The  Senior  play,  "A  Pair  of  Sixes," 
was  successfully  presented  and  well 
played.  Then  came  Christmas  and  all 
that  goes  with  it.  Thus  we  rounded  out 
our  work  on  Deck  B,  fore  and  aft. 

Many  members  attended  the  Senior 
Reception  January  20,  held  in  the 
plant's  recreation  hall.  Later  in  Febru- 
ary we  were  well  represented  in  the  cast 
of  "A  P.omantic  Young  Lady,"  present- 
ed by  the  Page  and  Stage  Club. 

With  the  launching  of  the  F'32  class, 
the  J  '32  was  left  in  charge  of  the  ship 
yard.  Proudly  she  held  her  head  high 
and  surveyed  all.  The  Dignified  Senior! 
Nearly  completed  and  ready  to  buffet 
the  seas  of  life.  Expectant  and  a  bit 
scornful !  With  unceasing  activity,  work 
went  on,  and  events  were  prepared  for 
the  launching. 

Late  in  April  we  started  having  our 
pictures  taken  for  the  Senior  issue  of 
the  Golden  Rod,  and  for  exchange 
among  classmates.  On  May  25  the  oper- 
etta "H.  M.  S.  Pinafore"  was  presented 
with  great  success  by  the  combined  glee 
clubs.  June  15,  our  Class  Day,  was  novel 
and  well  liked. 

We  finished  her  in  May,  Deck  A  first 
class  for  those  who  wish  the  best.  There 
she  lay  and  rocked  in  her  cradle,  com- 
plete in  every  detail,  ready  for  the  final 

test. 

On  June  22  the  Good  Ship  J  '32  will 
slip  down  the  ways.  With  all  good  faith 
and  a  sturdy  crew,  we  know  she  will 
fare  well  and  encounter  successfully 
those  dangers  on  life's  stormy  seas.

INNOCENCE  IS  BLISS 

By  Kenneth  Burnham 

Dutchy  stretched  and  yawned.  The 
sun  sparkled  on  her  sleek  hair,  here 
brown,  there  black  and  white.  She  was 
thinking.  A  cat  has  plenty  of  time  to 
think  and,  though  you  may  not  know, 
she  thinks  a  great  deal. 

This  morning  Dutchy  was  thinking 
of  kittens.  Hers  always  found  a  god 
home  before  they  were  a  week  old. 
She  was  sorry  for  the  cat  next  door — 
her  kittens  went  to  butcher  shops,  barns, 
and  land  knows  where.  Such  disgust- 
ing places  for  kittens  to  be  brought  up 
in  and  to  live  in!  She  felt  sorry  for 
the  poor  things. 

"Now  take  my  kittens,"  thought  she, 
"when  they  are  a  few  days  old  the  mas- 
ter takes  them  and  says  he's  going  to 
send  them  to  Heaven.  From  what  I've 
heard,  Heaven  is  a  wonderful  place." 

She  rolled  over,  lazily  licked  some 
stray  hair  into  place,  and  went  to  sleep 
purring  happily  . 

SAD   SONG 

"Who  owns  that  bending  back 
That   gibbering-  tongue  and 

Roaming  mind 
Who  knows  that  shaky  hand  and 
Wrinkled  brow 

Outcast  from  all  mankind? 
What's   in   that  case  .  .  .  that 
Black  burden  in  his  hand 
What  desperate  deed  .  .  .  what 

dredful*  thing 
Is  he  hiding  from  the  land? 
That  man's  MAD 
Mark  him  well 

For  he  deserves 

The  Fires  of  Hell 
He  once  was   great  ...  his  name 

well    known 
He  once  played  a  saxophone 
Oh  Fates  ...  do  guide  him 
Help  him   .  .  .  though  you  know 
He   doesn't    deserve   help 
That  poor  devil  is 
I 

I  .  .  .  the  Mad  Maestro  of  the  Aberjona 
You  know  .  .  .  playing  the  saxophone

Turn  me  from  your  roof

SUNSHINE  DRIVER 

By  Norma  M.  Cook 


OUTNAM  in  yet?     His  wife's 
callin'!" 
"No — tell   her   we   expect 
him  in  any  time,  and  tell  her  not  to 
worry." 

After  he  had  delivered  this  message, 
Frenchie,  mechanic  for  the  Transporta- 
tion Company,  thought  a  moment,  then 
turned  to  his  boss  who  looked  worried 
as  he  sat  checking  reports. 

"Say,  Sam — it's  kind  of  funny  for 
Putnam  not  to  have  come  in  or  reported 
to  us  yet.  He  doesn't  usually  hang  upon 
the  road  this  long.  Y'know,  he  left 
yesterday  at  two  A.  M.  Haven't  you 
heard  from  him  yet?   It's  eleven  P.  M. 


now 


!" 


"No,  not  a  word.  He  had  a  load  of 
groceries  on  for  Berlin,  New  Hamp- 
shire. That's  over  the  White  Moun- 
tains, and  he  said  he  was  going  to  take 
the  route  through  Pinkham  Notch. 
Johnnie  trailed  him  until  he  had 
reached  West  Ossipee — then  he  had  to 
turn  off  for  Whittier,  and  Putnam  kept 
on  for  Berlin.  There's  a  tough  blizzard 
raging  up  that  way,  and — well,  Put- 
nam's return  looks  rather  doubtful  to 
me,  I'm  afraid.  Remember  Number  Six !" 

"Can't  you  send  a  driver  out  after 
him?" 

"My  best  drivers  are  either  on  the 
road  or  bunked,  and  the  others  are 
'Sunshiners'  —  they're  worse  than 
none!" 

It  was  only  too  true,  Frenchie  real- 
ized. A  "Sunshine  Driver"  is  one  who 
drives  only  in  fair  weather  or  in  sum- 


mer, and  would  be  hopeless  in  a  bliz- 
zard. As  he  was  gloomily  thinking  of 
the  fate  of  Number  Six,  and  of  Put- 
nam, with  a  wife  and  two  children,  the 
phone  rang  again. 

"Hello!  Who?  Sam!  Come  here!  It's 
Putnam!" 

As  the  two  listened,  a  series  of 
clipped  phrases  and  words  came  over 
the  wire. 

"Putnam — Notch — past  Glen  House 
■ — skidded — pole  down — tapped — send 
help— I— I—" 

"Putnam!  Putnam!  He's  gone! 
Frenchie,  I've  got  to  find  someone  to 
go  after  him!  !  There's  still  a  chance! 
How  about  Ramon,  his  brother?" 

"Sam,  don't  be  foolish!  Ray  isn't  up 
to  it!  He's  a  Sunshiner.  He  couldn't 
make  that  trip!" 

"I'll  take  a  chance.  Ray  used  to  be 
one  of  my  best  drivers,  and  he  knows 
that  route.  It's  just  that  he  got  in  with 
the  wrong  crowd.  I'll  try  to  locate  him! 
What's  in?" 

"Number  Nine  is  in  and  all  O.K. 
He  can  use  that — if  he  goes!" 

A  half  hour  later,  Ray  was  in  the 
truck  and  ready  to  take  aid  to  his 
brother.  His  truck  was  well  supplied 
with  gas,  first-aid  and  repair  kits,  food, 
and  heat  in  the  form  of  an  oil  stove. 
He  was  also  carrying  all  the  grit  he 
could  hold,  which  had  been  instilled  by 
Sam's  faith  in  him,  and  by  the  fact  that 
there  was  still  a  chance  to  save  his 
brother,  who  had  often  helped  him  out 
of  "scrapes." 


50 


THE    GOLDEN-ROD 


His  truck  tore  on  through  the  ebon 
veil  of  night.  He  finally  crossed  into 
New  Hampshire,  and  found  himself  in 
the  face  of  a  bombardment  of  hail- 
stones. A  blizzard!  The  fine,  blinding 
snow  combined  with  the  hailstones  and 
formed  a  thick  layer  of  ice  on  his  wind- 
shield. The  wiper  was  useless,  so  he 
had  to  drive  with  his  head  out  of  the 
cab  window  into  the  storm.  The  biting 
wind  cut  across  his  face  and  coaxed 
the  snow  into  his  dimming  eyes ;  it  pen- 
etrated his  thick  mackinaw  and  slashed 
his  shaking  body.  The  road  was  alter- 
nately slushy,  then  icy.  The  hail  beat 
against  his  truck,  which  was  swaying 
dangerously  and  violently  with  the 
howling  gale.  He  had  started  up  the 
mountain  now.  No  use  looking  for 
trails!  They  laughed  at  him?  He'd 
show  'em!  The  truck  skidded  and 
balked.  He  put  her  in  second  and  she 
darted  forward  with  another  spurt  of 
energy.  Ah!  Glen  House!  He'd  be  on 
the  look-out  for  Chic,  now!  As  he  flew 
on  past  Glen  House,  his  snow-caked 
lids  fluttered  as  his  glassed  eyes 
searched  the  road  ahead  and  the  val- 
ley below  for  some  sign  of  Chick.  Then 
as  he  peered  into  the  solid  darkness 
beneath  him,  he  spied  an  object.  Stop- 
ping the  truck,  he  alighted  and  care- 
fully scaled  the  snow-blanketed,  ice- 
jaked  cliff  to  the  valley  below.  The 
object  was  Chic's  truck! 

"Chic!   Chic!  Are  you  here?    Chic! 
My  God — there  you  are!" 

He  stopped,  and  then  in  a  daze  ap- 
proached the  body  of  his  brother  lying 
across  a  fallen  telephone  pole.  He 
shook  him,  then  felt  at  his  heart.  Yes, 
there  was  life,  but  he'd  have  to  get  him 
away  from  the  wreckage  there  to  his 
truck  at  the  top  where  he  could  ad- 
minister first-aid  and  give  him  nourish- 
ment and  heat.  He  grasped  Chic's  col- 
lar and  began  to  tug  him  from  the 
wreckage.  Then  he  lifted  him  half  up 
and  proceeded  to  climb.  He  made  but 
slow  progress,  being  hampered  by  heavy 
clothing,  ice,  and  sleet.  Finally,  after  a 
supreme  struggle,  he  reached  his  goal 
and  i^ot  Chic  into  the  truck  where  he 
lay  for  a  moment — completely  exhaust- 


ed. Then  he  lit  the  stove  and  proceeded 
to  bring  his  brother  around  by  means 
of  heat  and  stimulants.  An  hour  later — 

"Speak  to  me,  Chic!  Please  say 
somethin'!" 

"Skidded — help — cold,  so  cold — 
skid — " 

"Chic,  don't  you  know  me?  It's  me 
— Ray!  Speak  to  me!  You're  all  right 
now.    Everything's  all  right!" 

"Why,  it's  —  it's  Ray- — my  kid 
brother!  How — wh — ?" 

"Now  don't  talk,  you  blamed  son- 
of-a-gun!  Making  me  come  out  in  this 
flutter  after  you!  You  lie  in  here  on 
these  sacks,  and  I'll  be  startin'  back 
now."  There  were  tears  in  his  eyes  as 
he  spoke.  Chic  complied  and  soon  was 
in  a  deep  slumber. 

The  ride  home  was  a  nightmare.  Ray 
had  to  reverse  almost  to  the  foot  of  the 
mountain  before  he  could  find  a  fork 
in  which  to  back  around,  as  the  road 
was  too  narrow  to  permit  turning  a 
truck.  The  blizzard  grew  worse.  It 
was  like  a  terrible  monster,  mad, — 
raging  because  of  losing  its  prey!  It; 
slashed  him — swayed  the  truck — bit  his 
face — and  stung  his  eyes.  It  blinded 
him!  It  sifted  into  the  cab,  and  tore 
at  the  canvas!  As  Ray  looked  out,  all 
he  could  see  was  a  frantic  fury  of  sleet 
and  snow  swirling  fiercely  about  him. 
Snowbent  trees — snapped  poles — white- 
topped  houses — creamy  bankments— all 
loomed  before  him.  Then  the  familiar 
garage  doors — voices  shouting — lights 
—  confusion  —  then  merciful  uncon- 
sciousness!— 


"This  where  they  are,  Nurse?" 

"Yes,  sir,  this  is  the  ward." 

"How  are  they?" 

"They  both  had  a  very  close  call  to 
Death,  but  they're  doing  fine  now.  You 
may  go  in." 

She  opened  the  door  into  a  small 
ward  containing  two  beds.  Ray,  in 
one,  had  his  frozen  right  cheek  band- 
aged, and  his  hands.  Chic's  head  was 
bandaged,  also  his  right  hand  and  leg 
which  had  been  exposed.

DIMPY 

By  Dorothy  Johnson 


XN  half  a  second  Dimpy  would 
hear  the  crack  of  the  revolver 
and  he  would  be  starting  one 
of  the  most  important  races  of  his  life. 
Not  only  was  it  a  contest  to  judge  the 
fastest  swimmer  of  the  summer  vaca- 
tionists at  Cold  Lake,  but  it  was  one  in 
which  Dimpy  was  to  "find"  himself — 
the  real,  honest,  fun-loving  Dimp  that 
was  hidden  beneath  the  Dimp  of  this 
morning  and  many  other  days — the  red- 
haired  lad  of  eighteen  who  was  afraid, 
who  lacked  self-confidence,  and  who 
always  acquired  a  cramp  or  a  strained 
muscle  in  the  course  of  a  race  if  he  saw 
that  any  of  his  fellow  contestants  were 
out-swimming  him. 

But  today  it  was  different.  He  had 
"found"  himself,  so  to  speak,  when, 
quite  accidentally,  he  overheard  in  the 
locker  room  a  conversation  between  his 
own  father  and  the  swimming  instruc- 
tor. 

"Well,  Mr.  Hayfield,"— that  was  the 
instructor — "how  do  you  suppose  your 
son  will  make  out  in  the  race  today,  in 
spite  of  his  handicap  of  having  a  dad 
with  a  famous  reputation  as  a  swim- 
mer? I  watched  him  out  there  alone 
this  morning;  he's  in  wonderful  form." 

"Yes — yes,"  answered  Dimp's  fa- 
ther, rather  dejectedly;  "I'm  going  to 
tell  you  something,  Jack,  that  I  wouldn't 
admit  to  another  person  on  this  earth. 
I've  been  everything  to  that  boy,  moth- 
er, father,  brother,  everything  to  him. 
I  taught  him  to  swim  when  he  was 
hardly  old  enough  to  talk.  I've  tried  to 
teach  him  how  much  it  means  to  me  to 
have  him  succeed  in  it."  It  was  a  world- 
known  fact  that  Harry  Hayfield,  with 
a  wonderful  career  ahead  of  him,  had 
fallen  down  the  stairs  and  broken  his 
back,  and  never  was  able  to  swim  again. 
"He's  on  the  swimming  team  at  prep, 
now,  but  there's  something  missing, 
Jack,  he's  yellow — that's  what — he's 
yellow.  God  help  him.  I've  tried  to 
and  failed." 


That  settled  it — or  rather  unsettled  it. 
Dimp's  mind  was  in  a  whirl  for  a  min- 
ute or  two  and  then  he  realized  the 
meaning  of  his  father's  words. 

Only  a  fraction  of  a  second  more 
and  then — oh  God!  He'd  have  to  win. 
From  the  corner  of  his  eye  he  could  see 
the  still,  intense  faces  of  the  gaily 
garbed  spectators  on  the  shore  who  had 
all  turned  out  in  high  spirits  for  the 
last  and  most  important  event  of  the 
season,  all  with  a  single  thought — 
"Would  Hayfield's  son  come  through 
today?" 

A  great  majority  of  them  secretly 
thought  he  could  do  it.  The  only  close 
competition  would  come  from  the  new 
fellow,  Bud  Sands.  He  was  a  lean, 
bronzed,  Greek-god  type  of  fellow  with 
that  air  of  "Of -course  I'm  better-than- 
these-people."  But  a  few  skeptical 
souls  were  overheard  to  say  that  Dimp 
would  have  to  "sprout  wings  or  swal- 
low an  awful  lot  of  lake  to  beat  that 
Sands  feller." 

There  was  the  shot.  Six  muscular 
forms  plunged  forward  from  the  raft 
and  were  off.  They  were  to  circle  the 
tiny  island  with  a  clump  of  bushes  on 
it,  in  the  middle  of  the  lake,  and  re- 
turn to  the  raft,  a  distance  of  three 
quarters  of  a  mile. 

The  thought  that  kept  racing  through 
Dimp's  mind  as  he  swam  was,  "He's 
yellow!   He's  yellow!   God  help  him!" 

Faster  and  faster  he  swam  until  he 
and  Bud  were  side  by  side  and  well  in 
the  lead.  He  nearly  missed  a  stroke  as 
he  thought  that  he  mightn't  have  heard 
his  father  and  he  would  still  be  going 
on  with  that  old  feeling  of  inferiority. 
Well,  he'd  show  them;  he'd  show  his 
father,  now,  that  he  was  no  longer  to  be 
ashamed  of.   And  he  did. 

Up  until  the  last  ten  yards  of  the 
race  he  and  Bud  swam  shoulder  to 
shoulder;  and  then,  with  sure,  power- 
ful strokes,  Dimp  crept  slowly  ahead 
until  he  reached  the  raft,  with  Bud 
three  yards  behind  him.    He  was  vio-

lently  cheered  and  carried  pompously 
up  the  beach,  where  he  was  awarded  a 
large  silver  cup,  and  treated  much  as  a 
young  hero.  But  the  greatest  triumph 
of  the  day,  thought  he,  was  the  discov- 
ery of  the  real  Dimp!

DOG  FLESH 

'OR  weeks  now,  Tawnyhide,  the 
puma  so  called  by  men  of  the 
West,  had  been  molesting 
herds  of  sheep,  cattle,  and 
horses  owned  by  Colonel  Southmore,  a 
typical  gentleman  that  only  the  South 
can  rear.  Harry  Burns,  a  poor  hunter 
and  a  tenant  of  the  Colonel's,  being 
"financially  embarrassed,"  owed  the 
Colonel  tenant  money.  Now  the 
Colonel,  a  great  sportsman,  agreed  to 
free  Harry  from  all  debt  that  he  had 
so  incurred,  if  he  in  turn,  with  his  skill 
and  knowledge  of  the  neighboring 
ranges  and  with  the  assistance  of  his 
lop-eared  dog,  Terror,  would  rid  the 
vicinity  of  the  dreaded  cat  within 
twenty- four  hours. 

Harry  Burns  had  been  born  and 
brought  up  in  this  country  and  he  had 
lived  now  for  some  years  by  his  hunt- 
ing with  his  mongrel,  which  he  had 
raised  and  trained  to  the  best  of  his 
ability  in  tracking  down  game.  But 
since  the  arrival  of  Tawnyhide,  his 
source  of  revenue  was  diminished  by 
the  puma's  lust  and  bloody  destruction 
of  the  wild  habitation.  For  this  reason 
he,  for  the  first  time  in  his  life,  had 
been  steeped  in  debt. 

On  the  day  following  the  agreement, 
Terror  entered  the  hillside,  with  Harry, 
gun  slung  under  his  arm,  following 
closely  behind,  while  the  proud  and 
resolute  Colonel  shook  his  head  sadly 
saying,  "Poor  old  fool."  For  two  hours 
man  and  beast  trekked  silently  together 
until  Terror  suddenly  gave  his  own  pe- 
culiar little  yelp  in  recognition  of  the 
scent,  and  set  off  at  a  loping  trot 
through   the  woods.      For   hours   they 


battled  with  the  wilds  of  the  mountain 
ranges,  where  Terror  battled,  only  as  a 
game  old  hound  can,  all  the  big  cat's 
uncanny  trickery  in  concealing  his  lair. 

Now,  the  puma  can  kill  a  horse  or 
an  ox,  but  above  all  things,  it  loves 
best  the  flesh  of  dog.  When  he  got 
wind  of  Terror,  he  became  suddenly 
enraged  and  craftily  watched  his  hated 
enemy  come  loping  along  a  hot  scent. 
Bunching  his  powerful  forepaws,  he 
sprang  from  a  ledge  above,  straight  for 
his  unsuspecting  foe.  Terror  seemed  to 
sense  that  something  was  amiss  and 
with  that  strange  animal  instinct  which 
is  so  prevalent  in  mother  nature's  child- 
ren, leaped  to  one  side.  Then  there  en- 
sued such  a  battle  as  was  never  seen  or 
heard  of  before  in  these  ranges,  with 
Tawnyhide,  the  puma,  fighting  his 
hated  enemy,  and  Terror  righting  as 
only  an  old  dog  versed  in  all  the  wars 
and  campaigns  of  the  trail  can  fight 
his  last  fruitless  fight. 

Terror  clamped  his  jaws  firmly  at  the 
base  of  the  cat's  skull  and  clung  ten- 
aciously while  the  big  cat  raked  the 
poor  body  with  forepaw  and  hindpaw, 
but  all  to  no  avail.  When  Harry  Burns 
arrived  on  the  scene,  all  was  peaceful 
and  calm,  and  at  the  foot  of  the  ledge 
lay  two  silent  corpses,  one  with  its 
jaws  firmly  planted  on  that  fatal  spot 
at  the  base  of'  the  skull ;  the  other  with 
its  claws  firmly  imbedded  in  the  flesh 
it  loved  so  well — dog  flesh! 

FAMILY  FAVOR 

"Charity  begins  at  home," 

Ours  ain't  had  no   chance  to   roam! 

With  all  their  troubles  to  us  they  come, 

They  get  free  meals,  and  then  some! 

Funny  part,  I  think  By  Ge — 

They  want  to  run  the  family! 

Auntie  Kit  once  made  the  crack 

That  washin'  dishes  was  my  knack! 

Uncle  Ezra  thinks  that  I 

Can  nurse  so  well  his  baby  bye, 

I'm  counting  ten  most  all  the  time, 

To  keep  from  killing  cousins  of  mine. 

Yet  what  right  have  I  to  holler, 

Christmas  brings  each  silver  dollar; 

Then   I've  got  the  consolation, 

"It  takes  all  kinds  to  make  a  nation."

THE  HAND  OF  FATE 

By  Adeline  Ambler 


FOUNTAIN  splashed  in  the 
center  of  the  velvet  lawn  in 
the  garden  of  the  Hotel 
Tobey.  Near  this  fountain  a 
woman  was  sitting  on  a  bench — a 
woman  with  a  wistful  mouth  and  star- 
tlingly  blue  eyes.  One  instinctively 
noticed  her  eyes  and  thought  of  them 
with  an  unsatisfied  curiosity. 

Then  suddenly  the  woman  became 
aware  that  she  was  not  alone.  Across 
the  garden,  a  light  flickered  in  the 
darkness,  revealing  for  a  moment  the 
face  of  a  man.  Then  the  light  went 
out.  In  its  place  was  the  steady  glow 
of  a  cigarette. 

The  man  approached  the  bench  and 
raised  his  brows,  in  a  bored  way  on 
finding  the  bench  occupied.  His  cool 
gray  eyes  surveyed  the  woman 
amusedly. 

"How  amazing!" 

The  woman  stared  up  at  him. 

"What  do  you  mean?  I'm  afraid  I 
don't  understand." 

For  a  moment  the  man  puffed  slowly 
on  his  cigarette  without  answering. 
Then  he  replied,  "I  find  it  surprising 
that  so  charming  a  girl  as  you  should 
be  occupying  what  is  popularly  known 
as  'Lovers'  Retreat'  alone.  Don't  tell  me 
you've  been  crossed  in  love." 

A  fleeting  smile  crossed  the  woman's 
face. 

"I  am  merely  enjoying  the  beauty  of 
this  marvelous  evening." 

"Well,  I  don't  think  it  is  altogether 
generous  of  you  to  enjoy  it  alone,  par- 
ticularly as  I  desire  someone  with  whom 
to  share  the  evening." 

His  voice  was  so  wistful  that  the 
woman  flashed  him  a  sudden  smile. 

"You  look  as  lonely  as  I  feel,"  she 
said  softly.  "Sit  down  and  we  will  enjoy 
it  together." 

"Here  we  are,"  laughed  the  man, 
hours  later,  "and  I  don't  even  know 
your  name  or  you  mine." 

The  girl  raised  her  eyes  slowly  and 
smiled. 


"Let's  forget  about  names.  After  all 
they're  not  important.  You  say  you're 
here  for  two  weeks.  I'm  here  for  three. 
Let's  go  on  being  happy,  without  any 
questions.  At  the  end  of  the  time  we'll 
separate,  and  forget  about  it  all.  Just 
a  pleasant  interlude.  How  about  it?" 

The  man's  eyes  narrowed. 

"But  what  shall  we  call  each  other?" 
he  protested  faintly. 

"Call  me  Rosemary." 

"But  Rosemary  means  remembrance, 
and  I  understand  that  we  are  supposed 
to  forget  this  little  episode." 

"We  are,"  the  woman  answered.  "So 
just  call  me  Rose." 

"And  you  call  me — John." 

The  two  weeks  fled  by  for  the  two  in 
this  game  of  "Let's  Pretend."  When 
at  last  it  was  time  for  the  man  to  return 
to  the  city,  they  had  become  great 
friends. 

Then,  just  before  the  train  pulled  out 
the  girl  spoke  in  agonized  entreaty,  for- 
getting that  she  herself  had  suggested 
that  they  bar  names. 

"John,  tell  me  your  name,  please,  be- 
fore you  go.  That's  all  I  want.  You 
see — I  don't  want  to  forget." 

The  man  hesitated  for  a  moment. 
Then  he  produced  a  visiting  card,  the 
card  of  a  friend.  He  debated  whether 
to  give  it  to  her  or  tell  her  who  he 
really  was.  Just  then  the  whistle  blew, 
warningly.  He  thrust  the  card  into  her 
hand  and  jumped  aboard  the  train. 

Left  alone  on  the  platform,  the  girl 
stared  at  the  card,  engraved  with  the 
name,  "Richard  Travers,"  followed  by 
an  address  in  the  socially  prominent 
part  of  Boston. 

Two  years  later  the  telephone  rang  in 
Wendell  Arden's  apartment.  Wendell 
answered  with  his  usual  cheery 
"Hello." 

"This  is  Dick  Travers  speaking, 
Wendell.  Talk  about  fairy  tales.  How's 
this  for  one?  A  woman  I  don't  know, 
never  even  met,  has  died  and  left  me 
thousands  of  dollars."

"What!"  Wendell's  voice  was 
amazed. 

"Yes,"  Dick  went  on,  "you've  prob- 
ably heard  of  her.  Rosemary  Churchill, 
the  authoress.  She  left  a  rather  odd 
message  for  me." 

"What  was  it?"  Wendell  strove  to 
control  his  voice. 

"  'Fate  willed  that  we  should  meet 
and  part.'  And  it  is  signed  'Rosemary 
for  Remembrance.'  ' 

"It  was  the  hand  of  fate,"  Wendell 
answered  in  a  queerly  cracked  voice, 
just  before  the  receiver  dropped  from 
his  nerveless  hand,  as  he  wondered  why 
the  words  "I  don't  want  to  forget!" 
rang  loudly  in  his  ears. 

DESERTED  QUARRY 

By  Frank  Meda 

HO,  looking  at  this  old,  ram- 
shackle building,  would  think 
that  it  was  once  the  engine- 
room  which  supplied  the 
steam  to  keep  this  quarry  running  ?  The 
steam  from  this  very  room  used  to  run 
that  old  iron  derrick  there  at  the  far 
end  of  the  quarry,  those  wooden  der- 
ricks along  the  edge,  and  as  if  that  were 
not  enough,  it  also  ran  the  old  dump- 
trucks  which  took  the  old  stone  from 
the  quarry's  edge  and  carried  it  away 
to  make  room  for  the  good  stone  being 
continually  brought  up  from  the  depths. 
This  quarry  was  once  the  pride  of  the 
district,  though  to  look  at  it  now,  one 
would  scarcely  think  so,  filled  as  it  is 
with  that  dark,  green  water,  and  those 
rotted  booms  of  derricks  floating  on 
top.  There  is  a  story  attached  to  the 
filling  of  this  quarry. 

One  day  while  the  men  were  working 
in  the  quarry,  a  driller  struck  water. 
The  force  of  the  water,  when  released, 
was  so  great  that  it  threw  the  drill  high 
into  the  air  and  killed  the  man  in- 
stantly. The  water  flowed  into  the 
quarry  so  rapidly  that  four  other  men 
were  drowned.  The  bodies  of  all  but 
one  of  the  men  were  recovered.  Fifty 
dollars  was  offered  to  any  one  who 
would  get  this  body.  The  water  in  the 
quarry  had  risen  to  a  height  of  about 


forty  feet  when  a  young  man  attempted 
to  recover  the  body.  This  young  man 
went  down,  but  became  entangled  in 
some  wire  and  was  unable  to  get  up 
again.  This  made  a  total  of  six  men 
whose  lives  had  been  lost  in  the  quarry. 
Then  another  young  man,  a  friend 
of  the  would-be  rescuer,  went  down. 
He  had  the  choice  of  bringing  up  the 
quarry  man's  body  and  getting  fifty  dol- 
lars, or  his  friend's  body  and  receiving 
only  gratitude.  When  the  rescuer  came 
to  the  surface,  he  was  bleeding  from 
his  nose  and  ears,  but  he  had  the  body 
of  his1  friend  with  him.  Friendship  had 
conquered  love  of  money.  He  would 
not  go  down  again.  Finally  a  diver, 
borrowed  from  the  navy,  brought  up 
the  quarry  man's  body.  Since  then  this 
quarry  is  known  as  the  "Deserted 
Quarry."

THE  MAN  IN  THE  SLOUCH  HAT 

By  George  D.  Klein 


"\^teM^  HE  mining  camp  of  Cripple 
M  ^]  Creek,  Colorado,  was  a  typical 
^^^^  camp  of  the  late  '90's.  It  was 
surrounded  by  rugged  moun- 
tains, which  was  partly  the  cause  of  the 
rough,  unshaven  gold  miners  of  this 
region.  The  "Tin  Cup"  mine  was  situ- 
ated in  a  gully  ten  miles  from  the  camp 
of  Cripple  Creek.  It  was  almost  dark 
when  Dave  and  Madison  reached  the 
mine.  They  were  on  night  duty,  some- 
thing no  miner  likes. 

"What  a  beastly  night,  eh,  Madison? 
I  don't  Ike  this  idea  of  being  on  night 
duty." 

"Oh,  you're  not  so  bad  off;  it's  lucky 
you're  not  on  Scott's  mine  on  old 
'Baldy.'  Well,  here  we  are;  might  as 
well  get  busy  getting  the  water  out  of 
the  shaft;  it  sure  fills  up  quick  for  only 
being  fifteen  feet  deep." 

The  work  of  pulling  water  from  the 
shaft  was  well  under  way  by  ten  o'clock. 
Madison  was  at  the  bottom  getting  the 
bucket  full,  and  Dave  was  at  the  top 
pulling  the  bucket  up.  Dave  was  mak- 
ing a  poor  attempt  at  a  conversation. 

"So  Pete  sold  his  claim  to  Scotty, 
huh?  Pretty  soon  Scotty  will  have  all 
the  mines  around  here." 

"Yes,  but  I  don't  think  he'll  get  this 


un. 


"I  wish  that  wind  would  stop  blow- 
ing; it's  getting  on  my  nerves.  It  seems 
like  they  put  up  all  those  wires  so  the 
wind  could  whistle  through  them." 

"Aw,  Dave,  the  wind  shouldn't  git 
on  your  nerves.  You've  sure  heard  it 
enough  since  you  worked  this  mine. 
Say,  do  you  remember  that  miner  that 
went  crazy  up  in  these  hills  all  on  ac- 
count of  the  wind  ?  They  never  did  find 
him.  I'll  bet  he's  still  roaming  the  hills; 
why,  he  might  even  come  in  here  to- 
night. Yuh  know  crazy  people  like 
windy  nights." 

"Aw,  Madison,  shut  up,  will  yuh? 
Yuh  know  I  ain't  hankering  for  a 
ghost  story  tonight.  Ain't  it  scary 
enough  with  the  wind  blowing?" 


"Oh,  all  right,  but  that  isn't  a  story; 
it's  the  truth.  Yuh  know  Emile  Wolff 
went  crazy  in  that  little  cabin  we  passed 
coming  up,  and  this  is  probably  the  first 
place  he'd  come  to." 

"Rave  on,  rave  on!  Sometimes  I  feel 
like  braining  yuh.  To  think  that  they 
killed  men  .ike  Lincoln  and  let  you 
live.   What's  that?" 

"What's  what?" 

"That  noise." 

"Oh,  that's  probably  Wolff  coming  to 
git  yuh." 

"No  kiddin',  Madison,  I'll  swear  I 
heard  a  noise;  there  it  is  again,  over  by 
the  door." 

"If  it's  Wolff,  tell  him  to  hang  his 
coat  on  the  nail  and  make  himself  at 
home." 

"Oh,  shut  up;  that  noise  wasn't  the 
wind,  and  besides  the  wind  don't  walk. 
There  it  is  at  the  door.  It's  opening. 
My  gosh,  Madison,  have  yuh  got  a 
gun?" 

"No,  yuh  fool,  grab  that  axe  and  git 
on  this  ladder  going  down  the  shaft. 
Steady  now,  what  does  he  look  like?" 

"I  don't  know.  He  isn't  all  the  way 
in.  He's  sure  taking  his  time  about  it. 
Now  I  can  see  part  of  him.  He  has  a 
black  slouch  hat  pulled  over  his  eyes 
and  his  overcoat  is  pulled  up,  that's  all 
I  can  see.  Did  you  hear  that  ?  A  groan, 
I'd  swear.  It's  Wolff.  I'm  going  to 
throw  this  axe." 

"My  God,  Dave!  Don't  throw;  it's 
Sloan,"  came  from  the  would-be  crazy 
man. 

"Sloan?  Why,  you  old  son-of-a-gun. 
How'd  you  come  over  here?  Boy,  yuh 
don't  know  how  close  yuh  came  to 
being  a  dead  man.  I  thought  you  were 
Emile  Wolff,  the  miner  that  went  crazy 
out  here." 

"Emile  Wolff?  Who's  he?  I  never 
heard  that  one  before.  H-m-m-m,  I'll 
bet  I  know  the  solution  to  that  story. 
Madison  has  a  good  reputation  for  tell- 
ing stories."

LIBRARY  STAFF 


This  year  has  broken  all  records  in 
the  history  of  our  library.  From  figures 
on  hand  now,  it  seems  that  about  twice 
as  many  books  as  last  year  have  been 
issued  for  use  outside  the  library.  The 
period  attendance  shows  a  gain  of  ten 
thousand  over  last  year.  This  has  ne- 
cessitated an  increase  in  the  number  on 
the  staff.  Because  of  the  new  traffic 
system  in  the  library,  five  boys,  who  act 
as  marshals,  have  joined  the  staff. 


In  February,  the  members  decided  to 
reorganize,  and  elected  as  officers: 
Bernard  Frew,  President;  Virginia  Ho- 
gan.  Vice-president;  Ragnhild  Lind- 
berg,  Secretary,  and  Mary  Sherriff, 
Treasurer.  Meetings  have  been  held 
every  Friday,  during  the  seventh  period. 
A  trip  was  taken  through  the  Herald- 
Traveller  building  in  Boston  in  March 
and  several  parties  have  been  held  since 
then.

TOPICS  IN  BRIEF 

That  topsy-turvy  Golden  Rod 
caused  a  lot  of  trouble.  "We  received 
letters  expressing  regret  at  the  fact 
that  the  printer  got  the  magazine  so 
mixed  up.  And  there  was  a  sopho- 
more who  innocently  and  earnestly 
took  his  copy  apart  and  put  it  to- 
gether again  in  the  usual  way. 

There  is  a  pupil  in  Miss  Shaw's 
fourth  period  history  class  who  al- 
ways begins  his  recitation  by  say- 
ing, "I  don't  know" — and  he  is  one 
of  the  best  in  the  class  too!  Page 
Mr.  Ripley. 

We  wish  to  extend  our  heartiest 
sympathy  to  the  person  who  lost 
those  fur-lined  gloves  in  May  and 
hope  that  he  recovers  them  before 
the  advent  of  the  raw  summer 
weather. 

The  senior  class  deserves  credit 
for  the  manner  in  which  their  meet- 
ings were  conducted.  The  usual 
noise  and  disorder  were  replaced  by 
orderly  business  procedure.  In  fact, 
the  meetings  were  so  successful  that 
after  the  business  was  settled  no- 
body wanted  to  adjourn.  Bob  Mac- 
Arthur  at  the  "mike"  simply  slays 
the  weaker  sex. 

It  certainly  was  a  pleasure  to  go 
to  school  during  the  week  of  May 
16  knowing  that  the  teachers  were 
not  getting  any  reward  for  merit. 

Ever  since  Mr.  Wilson  offered  to 
invite  the  members  of  his  physics 
class  to  attend  as  his  friends  the 
lecture  by  Cameron  Beck,  the  fel- 
lows have  found  it  hard  to  keep  from 
saying,  "Hw'rya.  G.  A.,  ol'  pal" 
whenever  they  meet  him. 

Believe  it  or  not — but  "Harty"  Sass 
and  Gordon  Lamb  go  to  church  reg- 
ularly. There  must  be  a  pretty  girl 
in   the   choir. 

And  let  us  remind  you  that  this  is 
not  a  noospaper;  it's  a  neeoospaper. 
It  may  sound  steeoopid,  but  it  isn't. 

In  my  opinion  we  should  conduct 
the  class  meetings  after  the  manner 
of  the  United  States  Congress. — Ar- 
thur Ray  Peel. 

Some  of  the  students  advocate  a 
change  in  the  name  of  the  school 
magazine;  they  want  a  magazine 
that  can't  be  sneezed  at. 

There  is  one  thing  that  you  learn 
while  on  the  Golden  Rod  Staff, — 
never  to  become  a  journalist. 


FIRST    PRIZE    AWARDED 

TO   STEWART  SMITH 

Quincy  High  School  was  represent- 
ed at  the  National  Music  Supervis- 
ions Convention  held  in  May  at 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  by  Stewart  Smith, 
who  attended  as  a  member  of  the 
National  High  School  Orchestra, 
which  was  composed  of  the  most 
talented  players  in  the  entire  coun- 
try. In  a  test  in  music  appreciation 
given  to  those  wishing  to  take  part, 
Stewart's  paper  was  one  of  the  three 
chosen  as  the  highest.  The  reward  is 
a  summer  at  one  of  the  two  music 
camps  in  the  country  with  all  ex- 
penses paid.  When  asked  to  which 
camp  he  was  going,  Stewart  replied 
that  he  would  go  to  the  eastern  one, 
of  course.  His  was  a  creditable  ac- 
complishment, requiring  not  simply 
the  ability  to  play,  but  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  music  as  well.  Hats 
off  to  Stewart  Smith! 

On    Wednesday,    May    25,    Gilbert 
and       Sullivan's      popular      operetta 
"Pinafore"  was  presented  in  the  high 
school   hall  by   the    Glee   Clubs,   as- 
sisted   by    the    orchestra    under    the 
direction   of  Miss  Maude  M.  Howes, 
who    with    Miss    Tuttle    has   worked 
long  and  hard  to  make  it  the  suc- 
cess  that  it  was.    There  was  a  full 
house,  and  judging  by  the  comments, 
everyone  thoroughly  enjoyed  the  do- 
ings   in    the    Queen's    "navee."     The 
leading  parts  were  taken  by  the  fol- 
lowing:    Sr    Joseph    Porter.     Elmer 
Hussey;    Ralph   Rackstraw,   Vincent 
DelGallo:    Captain    Corcoran,    James 
Laing;    Dick  Deadeye,  George  Tarr; 
Boatswain,    Carleton    Power;     Boat- 
swain's    Mate,     Arthur     Szathmary; 
Midshipmate.    John    Sisson;    Joseph- 
ine,   Edith   Bone:    Hebe.    Sybil   Pam- 
plin:      Buttercup.      Bernice      Hipson. 
They    were   assisted   by   a   chorus   of 
44  sailors,  marines,  and  sisters,  cou- 
sins and  aunts,   who   gave   excellent 
support. 

ORCHESTRA    AND    BAND   MAKE 
CLEAN    SWEEP  AT   NORWOOD 

At  the  Annual  State  Contest  and 
Conclave  held  at  Norwood  on  May 
21,  our  Orchestra  and  Band  came 
away  covered  with  glory.  Both  or- 
ganizations won  first  places  and  in 
addition  were  awarded  a  one  hun- 
dred dollar  scholarship  to  be  used 
for     the     Eastern      .Music     Camp    in

Maine.    North  Quincy  High  won  sec- 
ond place. 

The  required  number  for  the  or- 
chestra was  the  first  movement  of 
Mozart's  "G  Minor  Symphony" ;  the 
selected  number,  "Thornrose  Waltz" 
by  Tschaikowsky.  The  required 
number  for  the  band  was  "Light 
Cavalry  Overture"  by  von  Suppe; 
the  selected  number,  "Marche  and 
Cortege"  from  the  "Queen  of  Sheba" 
by   Gounod. 

The  result  of  the  contest  was  well 
worth  the  time  and  trouble  spent  on 
the  preparation.  And  in  reviewing 
the  musical  accomplishments  of  the 
season  we  cannot  help  but  say  at 
this  time:  Why  worry  about  a  win- 
ning football  team? 


THE  MEETING  COMES  TO  ORDER 

Under  the  supervision  of  Miss 
Turner  and  Miss  Aronoff,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Page  and  Stage  Club 
have  been  presenting  a  play  at  each 
regular  meeting.  All  the  world's  a 
stage  and  the  seniors  want  to  prac- 
tice for  the  drama  of  life,  in  which 
they  will  soon  be  playing.  A  reduc- 
tion in  the  number  of  members  and 
a  change  in  the  constitution  are 
planned  for  next  year.  Good  luck  to 
the   officers! 

In  addition  to  their  regular  meet- 
ings, the  Poetry  Club  now  holds 
after-school  meetings  on  alternate 
Wednesdays  during  which  original 
verse  is  discussed.  At  the  meeting 
on  May  25  readings  were  given  by 
Miss  Dawes  and  piano  selections 
were  offered  by  Harry  Mclntyre. 
During  the  latter  part  of  the  season 
the  members  have  enjoyed  student 
reports  and  readings.  At  the  Amy 
Lowell  Memorial  Poetry  Series  given 
at  the  Book  Shop  for  Boys  and  Girls 
in  Boston,  representatives  of  the  club 
heard  interesting  lectures  by  poets  of 
such  repute  as  Carl  Sandberg  and 
Robert  Frost,  and  later  talked  with 
these  gentlemen. 

Tou  never  catch  the  Girls'  Club 
inactive.  They  have  undertaken  big 
things  of  late.  The  supper-confer- 
ence sure  was  a  success.  Why,  not 
only  the  Senior  High  members  at- 
tended but  also  the  executives  from 
the  Girls'  Clubs  of  neighboring  high 
schools!  The  event  took  place  May 
12   (the  day  before  Friday  the  13th). 


369  Seniors  to  Receive 

Diplomas  on  June  22 

LARGEST  CLASS  IN  HISTORY  OF  SCHOOL 


The  Senior  Class  is  about  to  bring 

its  high  school   life  to  a  close.    The 

class    program    opened    on    June    3 

with  a  gala  reception  in  the  Quincy 

Armory.  The  huge  auditorium  was 
attractively  decorated  with  hun- 
dreds of  roses  and  lattice  work  and 
lighted  by  swinging  pink  lanterns, 
providing  a  most  colorful  atmosphere 
for  the  occasion.  There  was  dancing 
from  eight  to  twelve,  with  music 
by  Paul  Murphy's  Troubadours  and 
refreshments  served  during  the 
course  of  the  evening  by  Mrs.  Fer- 
guson. Those  comprising  the  re- 
ceiving line  were  Superintendent 
and  Mrs.  James  N.  Muir,  Head- 
master and  Mrs.  Ernest  L.  Collins, 
Sub-master  and  Mrs.  George  A. 
Wilson.  Dean  of  Girls  Miss  Mildred 
Harrison,  Mrs.  Angus  MacArthur, 
and  the   class   officers. 

The  reception  committee  included 
John  Kroesser,  chairman:  Doris 
Van  Bibber.  Phyllis  Elliott,  Helmi 
Heikkila,  Kenneth  Morgan,  and 
Donald  Smith,  with  Miss  Harrison 
and  Miss  McCarthy 
visors.  The  ushers 
were  members  of  the  F'33  class  and 
were   in   charge   of  Mr.   Hudson. 

On  Wednesday  evening,  June  15, 
the  class  day  exercises  were  held  in 
the  school  auditorium,  and  a  rous- 
ing good  time  was  enjoyed.  The 
class  gift  to  the  school  was  the  re- 
mainder of  the  fund  begun  by  the 
February  class  for  the  purchase  of 

The  Spanish  Club  sticks  faithfully 
by  their  play  producing.  The  last 
one  was  "Little  Red  Ridinghood" 
presented  in  Spanish  at  a  combina- 
tion social  and  initiation.  Those  tak- 
ing part  were:  Louise  Foster,  Hel- 
ene  Gilmore,  Helmi  Heikkila,  Ed- 
mund McKinney.  Jennie  Mattson. 
and  John  Ryan. 


for  faculty  ad- 
for    the    event 


a  motion  picture  projector;  so  in 
the  future  if  you  get  tired  during 
the  seventh  period,  you  may  go 
down  to  the  hall  and  look  at  a 
Mickey  Mouse.  The  usual  appro- 
priate gifts  were  presented  to  mem- 
bers of  the  class  and  there  certainly 
were  some  amusing  ones.  The  cafe- 
teria rush  will  long  be  remembered, 
also  President  MacArthur  as  the 
cap'n  of  the  clipper  ship.  The  sing- 
ing of  the  class  song,  the  words  of 
which  were  written  by  Edith  Lord, 
brought  the  exercises  to  a  joyous 
close. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  the 
program  included  Cornelius  Van 
Twuyver,  chairman;  Althea  Sawyer, 
and  Robert  Simpson.  Miss  Brown 
and  Miss  Suttis  were  the  faculty 
advisors. 

The  senior  activities  wall  close 
with  the  graduation  exercises  in  the 
auditorium  on  June  22.  The  class 
is  the  largest  ever  to  be  graduated 
from  Quincy  High,  numbering  over 
three  hundred  and  fifty;  however, 
this  is  by  no  means  their  only  dis- 
tinction. 

The  diplomas  will  be  presented  by 
Mayor  Magrath.  The  musical  pro- 
gram will  consist  of  choral  and 
orchestral  selections.  The  high  spot 
of  the  ceremony  will  be  the  presen- 
tation of  the  scholarships  and  prizes 
to  both  the  February  and  June 
classes,  as  no  awards  are  given  in 
February. 

The  boys  are  to  wear  white  flan- 
nels, blue  coats,  white  shirts,  and 
sport  shoes;  and  the  girls,  light 
dresses,  white  shoes,  and — yes,  we 
have  the  shade — sun  tan  hose.  So 
sophomores,  come  and  see  the  seniors 
at  their  best. 

And  thus,  gentle  readers,  oh  well, 
just  plain  thus. 

Bon  voyage  to  the  class  of  June 
1932.  May  they  live  long  and  pros- 
perously.

WASHINGTON  PAYS  A  HASTY 
VISIT  TO  ABINGTON 

"Ogontz  2379x  please,"  came  the 
voice  over  the  phone. 

"Hello!  Hello!  G.  Washington 
speaking.  This  the  Old  York  Road 
Odd  fishes!  Abington  High 
I  beg  thy  pardon  Master 
the  foolish  operator  hath 
given  me  the  wrong  number  again. 

"Hello,  operator!  Thee  hath  given 
me  the  wrong  number.  I  wish  Ogontz 
2379x. 

"Old  York  Road  Tavern?  George 
Washington  speaking.  How  many 
sleeping  rooms  hath  thee  vacant  in  thy 
Tavern?  Six  rooms  and  bath?  Very 
well,  I  shall  ask  thee  to  reserve  them 
for  me.  I  am  bringing  along  several  of 
my  troops.  What  thy  house  will  not 
hold,  we  shall  try  to  board  elsewhere." 

General  Washington  walked  out  of 
the  telephone  booth,  at  the  Reading 
Terminal,  quite  well  pleased. 

His  soldiers  stood  at  salute,  awaiting 
his  next  command. 

"Attention!  right  face!  Forward!  and 
don't  stop  until  you  reach  Child's  Res- 
taurant at  Twelfth  and  Market  streets 
where  we  shall  all  appease  our  appe- 
tites." 

When  all  the  troops  had  quieted 
down  in  the  restaurant,  Washington 
arose  to  tell  his  plans. 

"Comrades,  pals  and  friends,  this 
evening  at  the  very  dark  hour  of  four- 


thirty,  we  shall  assemble  at  the  Reading 
Terminal,  yonder.  This  friendly  meet- 
ing will  be  for  the  purpose  of  starting 
a  march  to  Valley  Forge  to  begin  battle 
against  the  British.  The  British  are  hard 
fighters  and  unless  we  fight  hard  and 
stick  to  it,  we  shall  fail.  I  leave  thee 
all  now  to  enjoy  the  remainder  of  the 
afternoon  at  your  will.  But  be  sure  to 
report  with  all  your  clothing  for  we 
shall  spend  many  cold  months  this  win- 
ter." 

At  four-thirty,  the  entire  troop  re- 
ported at  the  Reading  Terminal.  With 
packs  slung  across  their  backs,  they  fell 
into  step  behind  their  beloved  leader. 
Their  faces,  weak  and  strong,  fat  and 
thin,  all  had  determined  smiles.  They 
were  at  last  beginning  their  long  jour- 
ney to  Valley  Forge. 

"Hip!  hip!  hip!"  came  the  bellowing 
voice  of  George  Washington.  "Right 
face,  halt!  Now  divide  into  four 
groups.  Fine,  now  the  first  two  groups 
take  the  first  two  cars.  The  other  two 
take  the  last  two  cars.  And  officers  jump 
into  the  Pullman." 

"Hurray!"  came  shouts  from  the 
many  soldiers.  "We're  off  to  capture 
the  British."  The  train  gave  a  final  tug 
and  began  on  its  way. 

At  five-fifteen,  the  train  pulled  up  at 
the  Jenkintown  station.  Washington 
leaped  past  the  porter  and  called  his 
faithful   followers  behind  him. 

"Attention,  my  men.  This  is  as  far 
as  our  tickets  permit  us  to  go.    From 


THE    GOLDEN-ROD

here  we  shall  take  up  the  march.  We 
shall  all  strike  out  for  Old  York  Road. 
When  we  reach  there,  as  we  have  to 
step  into  Woolworth's  to  buy  some  am- 
munition, we  shall  have  no  money  to 
spend  on  trolley  fare.  We  must  walk  to 
Abington  to  the  Tavern.  In  case  we  are 
separated,  the  Tavern  is  located  on  the 
corner  of  Old  York  Road  and  Susque- 
hanna Road.  It  is  across  the  street  from 
the  drug  store  and  right  alongside  the 
Abington  Bank.  March!  Hip!  Hip! 
Hip!" 

At  six  o'clock,  the  entire  troop  was 
waiting  along  the  graveyard  wall  for 
their  general  to  report.  He  finally  re- 
turned to  announce  that  there  was  not 
enough  room  in  the  Tavern  for  all  of 
them.  But  a  very  kind,  friendly  family 
on  the  opposite  corner  had  offered  their 
house  to  the  soldiers  for  that  night. 

That  night,  the  men  amused  them- 
selves playing  ping-pong,  listening  to 
Amos  and  Andy,  and  reading  Ballyhoo. 
At  ten  o'clock,  all  lights  were  switched 
off  and  the  soldiers  retired  in  prepara- 
tion for  the  following  day. 

At  six  o'clock  the  next  morning,  elec- 
tric alarm  clocks,  ordering  the  soldiers 
to  get  up,  rang.  Very  sleepily,  after  the 
long  march  the  day  before,  the  soldiers 
dressed  and  ate  their  breakfast  hur- 
riedly. 

After  Washington  sent  an  airmail 
letter  to  Martha,  the  troops  boarded  the 
P.  R.  T.  once  again  to  resume  their 
march  to  Valley  Forge.

ENJOYING  LIFE 

To  lie  for  once 

Until  eleven 
Instead  of  jumping 

Up  at  seven. 

To  have  no  themes 

To  ponder  o'er, 
No  gym  to  make 
My  muscles  sore. 


To  have  no  Latin 

English,  Greek, 
No  derivations 

For  to  seek.

Just  free  from  strife, 
Is  what  I'd  call

WHICH  ARE  YOU? 

The  beauties  of  nature  mean  nothing 
to  the  pessimist,  but  to  the  optimist, 
they  mean  everything.  Anything  is  only 
as  good  as  the  mind  of  the  person  who 
sees  it.  A  carpenter  may  listen  to  the 
music  of  Wagner,  and  a  music  critic 
may  look  at  a  house  built  by  that  same 
carpenter.  The  carpenter  hears  nothing 
in  Wagner's  music,  and  the  music  critic 
sees  nothing  in  the  carpenter's  house. 
The  scope  of  the  eye  and  ear  is  limited 
by  the  mind.  If  the  mind  is  well  de- 
veloped, the  eye  and  ear  are  also.  And 
so,  the  pessimist  sees  only  the  worst  and 
saddest  things  in  life  while  the  opti- 
mist sees  only  the  best  and  happiest 
things.

EDITORIALS 


SMILES  FOR  THE  TEACHERS 

It  has  been  the  custom  from  time 
immemorial  for  newspaper  editors, 
about  this  time  of  year,  to  write  edito- 
rials to  the  graduating  class.  Some  of 
our  own  editors  have  even  gone  as  far 
as  to  indulge  the  practice.  We  are  going 
to  be  a  little  different,  however,  and 
write  one  from  the  class  J  '32  speaking: 

Being  a  rather  large  group,  our  feel- 
ings toward  graduation  are  somewhat 
varied.  Some  of  us  are  frankly  glad  to 
get  out,  and  are  looking  forward  to  the 
day  when  we  can  slave  eight  hours  a 
day  for  our  bread  and  butter.  Others  of 
us,  frankly,  hate  to  leave.  We  enjoy  the 
friends  we've  made,  the  good  times 
we've  had,  and  we  want  to  keep  them. 

Most  of  us,  however,  look  at  things 
as  they  are.  We  realize  that  we  are 
probably  shutting  the  door  on  the  hap- 
piest years  of  our  life,  and  that  ahead 
of  us  lie  toil,  and  struggle  and  perhaps 
hardship.  But  we  look  forward  with 
buoyant  hope  and  faith  to  the  future. 
We  regret  parting  from  old  associa- 
tions, but  graduation  is  a  step  forward, 
and  since  that  is  the  way  we  want  to  go, 
we  accept  it  cheerfully. 

Nevertheless,  one  and  all  have,  or 
will  have  in  a  few  years,  the  same  feel- 
ing of  gratitude  to  our  teachers.  We 
admire  their  patience  and  self-restraint, 
and  are  duly  thankful  that  we  haven't 
been  thrown  through  the  window  more 
than  once.  What  is  more,  we  realize 
that  we  have  profited  by  their  instruc- 
tions, much  as  we  hate  to  admit  it. 

Therefore,  we  want  to  leave  this 
message  to  those  who  have  yet  a  few 
years  of  high  school  ahead  of  them: 
That  much  more  enjoyment  can  be  had 
by  being  friends  with  the  teachers  than 
by  being  their  enemies.  They  are,  after 
all,  human  beings  and  of  a  type  that 
really  make  the  best  of  friends.  They 
also  have  the  power  to  make  things 
very  unpleasant  for  those  they  dislike, 
especially  about  the  time  one  thinks  he 


is  going  to  be  able  to  march  up  and  be 
handed  a  diploma. 

So  give  your  teachers  a  pleasant  smile 
once  in  a  while  instead  of  the  guilty 
smirk,  and  you  will  save  yourself  a 
great  deal  of  trouble,  as  well  as  make 
some  worthwhile  friends. 

CO-OPERATION 

"Opportunity  knocks  at  least  once  at 
every  man's  door;  it  is  the  deaf  and 
the  irresolute  that  it  passes  by."  Here 
in  our  High  School,  opportunity  is 
knocking  loudly.  Sophomores,  Juniors, 
and  Seniors,  this  is  the  time  to  grasp  it, 
for  it  will  never  appear  again  to  you 
as  it  does  now.  The  foundations  of 
your  future  successes  are  laid  here.  You 
are  being  instructed  and  guided  by 
teachers  who  are  giving  the  best  that 
is  in  them  that  you  may  absorb  knowl- 
edge and  profit  thereby.  Your  parents 
are  sending  you  here — your  Dad  work- 
ing for  you  and  your  mother  sacrificing 
for  you— and  you,  WHAT  ARE  YOU 
DOING? 

Are  you  co-operating  with  those  who 
are  endeavoring  to  help  you  to  knowl- 
edge and  power?  For  "knowledge  is 
power;"  make  no  mistake  about  that. 
Are  you  doing  home  assignments  con- 
scientiously? Are  you  paying  attention 
in  classes  ?  Do  you  have  the  respect  for 
your  teachers  that  you  should  have  ?  Or, 
are  you  trying  to  tear  down  the  stand- 
ard of  the  school  by  doing  as  little  as 
possible  and  belittling  as  much  as  you 
can,  just  trusting  to  LUCK  to  "get  by"? 

Success  is  rarely  the  result  of  pure 
luck. 

It  is  nearly  always  the  result  of  a 
group  of  circumstances  prepared  by 
clevernesss  and  brought  about  by  per- 
severance. 

And  it  is  not  always  possible  to  real- 
ize what  an  amount  of  will-power,  pru- 
dence, and  hard  work  it  costs  pupils  to 
have  earned  the  name  of  "lucky." 


THE    GOLDEN-ROD

Be  a  booster  for  your  school.  Work 
with  the  teachers,  not  against  them; 
do  your  homework,  don't  bluff;  sup- 
port the  school  organizations,  never 
humiliate  them;  CO-OPERATE! 

Co-operation  is  the  corner  stone  upon 
which  success  in  any  endeavor  is  built. 
Lay  that  corner  stone  now  in  your  High 
School  age  and  reap  the  benefits  that 
will  surely  come  to  you  in  the  years  to 
follow. 

S.  K. 

WILL  WE  FIGHT? 

Last  winter,  Mr.  Whiting  was  kindly 
informed  by  the  authorities  of  the  Fore 
River  Club  that  the  club  grounds  would 
no  longer  be  available  to  our  athletic 
teams.  Their  reasons  for  such  an  action 
we  do  not  know,  nor  do  we  care  much ; 
but  we  do  know  that  it  will  mean  a 
great  deal  to  Quincy  High. 

It  will  mean,  for  one  thing,  that  the 
income  from  athletics  will  be  danger- 
ously decreased;  that  there  will  be  less 
money  with  which  to  buy  uniforms  and 
equipment,  to  tranport  the  teams  to  out- 
of-town  games,  and  to  keep  a  doctor 
ready  for  emergencies.  All  home  games 
have  to  be  played  at  Merrymount, 
where  any  money  taken  in  has  to  come 
from  voluntary  contribution;  and  this 
school  has  its  share  of  Scotchmen.  The 
Athletic  Association  has  been  making 
great  progress  in  the  last  two  years  in 
freeing  itself  of  debt,  but  this  will  give 
them  a  hard  setback. 

That  is  all  triviality,  however,  com- 
pared to  what  it  means  to  us — the 
school.  It  will  be  either  our  making  or 
breaking  as  a  school  worth  attending. 
We  have  one  of  two  paths  open  to  us. 
We  can  go  our  way  as  we  have  always 
done,  taking  what  is  free,  and  paying 
for  what  we  have  to.  We  can  let  the 
A.  A.  sink  into  debt,  interscholastic 
sport  gradually  be  abolished,  and  the 
girls  lose  all  their  he-man  heroes.  Or, 
we  can  rise  to  the  occasion  like  Ameri- 
can high  school  students.  We  can  seize 
this  opportunity  to  show  the  city  and 
the  world  that  we  really  want  our 
teams,  that  we  are  willing  to  fight  for 


them  and  for  the  school,  and  that  we 
are  worth  helping  with  good  equip- 
ment and  stadium  facilities. 

And  we  will !

We  don't  want  beer;  we  want  better 
sleeping  accommodations  in  the  class 

rooms.

The  reception  was  held,  this  year,  in

school  population  keeps  up,  they  will 
have  to  hire  the  G.  O.  P.  Convention 

Hall.

They  have  movies  in  all  the  class- 
rooms. Why  not  have  them  in  the  study 

hall  also.

this  time,  because  I  didn't  throw  the 
axe,  but  how  came  you  come  on  the

"Well,  I  was  just  going  in  to  Cripple

see  yuh,  and  when  I  heard  Madison 
telling  yuh  a  story  about  a  crazy  man 
I  thought  I'd  play  on  your  shaken

A    PESSIMIST 

Through  the  park   I  wandered  of  a   day, 

And  a  nymph-like  fountain  met; 

The  sun,  with  caressing  rays, 

Clad  the  naiad  in  raiment  sparkling. 

I  stopped,  admired  its  beauty,  and  passed, 

Came  back  the  following  day 

And  followed  the  same  path; 

But  gone  was  the  beauteous  form ; 

In  place  the  cold,  drear  stone, 

Coated,  and  greenish  with  slime; 

Then  said  I:   "Life."

However,  these  proud  people  who

"YOWZAH" 

An  Interview  with  Bing  Crosby  By  Mario  Zeni 


XPERIENCE,"  said  Bing 
Crosby,  "is  the  best  teacher," 
as  we  were  talking  to  him 
backstage  at  the  'Met.'  "Yes," 
he  said,  "I've  rolled  around  quite  a  bit, 
had  an  orchestra  at  college,"  (he  didn't 
say  which  one)  "and  worked  the 
dances  and  odd  jobs,  then  a  theatre  en- 
gagement at  Spokane,  Washington  at 
$40  weekly;  that  was  good  money,  too 
good  to  last;  we  got  fired.  Al  Rinker 
and  I  started  out  for  California,  one 
thousand  miles  away,  but  our  flivver 
would  not  carry  on  for  us,  so  we  wound 
up  working  in  a  cafe  owned  by  Mike 
Lyman,  brother  of  Abe  Lyman  that 
popular  orchestra  leader." 

"Who  do  you  consider  among  your 
best  friends?"  we  asked.  "Well,"  he 
said,  "there's  Paul  Whiteman,  a  great 
friend  of  mine,  and  Mildred  Bailey, 
that  great  blues  singer  with  Paul; 
Jackie  Cooper  and  I  are  great  pals.  Then 


there's  Guy  Lombardo,  Russ  Columbo, 
and  Rudy  Vallee,  all  friends." 

"Well,'  'he  said,  "I'm  sorry  I've  got 
to  rush  right  away  but  I'm  ten  minutes 
late  for  a  dinner  engagement,"  and  af- 
ter shaking  hands  he  hailed  a  cab, 
hopped  in,  and  was  gone. 

What  did  he  look  like?  Oh,  he  had 
on  a  brown  suit,  a  tan  polo  coat  and  a 
tan  cap  pulled  down  on  his  forehead, 
his  shirt  was  open  at  the  collar,  but  he 
had  a  scarf  around  his  neck.  His  face 
was  rather  chubby,  and  he  was  not  bad 
to  look  at,  and  fellows,  don't  get  the 
impression  that  he's  a  sissy;  boy,  he's 
built  like  the  side  of  a  house. 

How  the  public  loves  him !  He  came 
out  for  one  curtain-call  after  another 
and  finally  brought  the  house  down 
when  he  rendered  "Dinah,"  hot  and 
sizzling. 

It  was  certainly  a  pleasure  to  inter- 
view a  man  like  him. 


ANNA  MAY  WONG 


By  Phyllis  Newton 


"How  do  you  like  Boston?"  "What 
is  Hollywood  like?"  "Where  do  you 
go  from  here?" — these  were  but  few 
of  the  many  questions  flung  at  Miss 
Anna  May  Wong  by  three  rather  agi- 
tated young  girls  at  the  Metropolitan 
Theatre  one  Saturday  morning  this 
month.  We  had  (on  the  spur  of  the 
moment)  rushed  to  the  stage  door  to 
see  Miss  Wong.  "Tom,"  the  doorman, 
recognized  us  and  passed  us  inside, 
much  to  the  consternation  of  some  of 
the  bystanders. 

"Has  Miss  Wong  gone  yet,  Tom?" 
we  breathlessly  inquired. 

"No,"  said  Tom;  "she  will  be  here 
any  minute." 

We  sat  down  on  some  boxes  in  the 
office  and  then  came  a  commotion  out- 
side— it  was  SHE! 

Miss  Wong  more  than  came  up  to 

our  expectations  of  her!  She  was  ador- 
able! She  was  attired  in  a  charming 
gown  of  brilliant  green,  with  a  green 
felt  hat  perched  on  her  head.  Most  of 
her  jet  black  hair  showed.  Her  features 


were  typical  of  the  Mongolian  race  and 
her  slanting  eyes  were  particularly 
bright.  As  she  entered  the  office  where 
we  waited  she  smiled  and  said  "Hello," 
to  which  we  but  lamely  replied.  Not 
that  we  were  unaccustomed  to  being  in 
the  presence  of  celebrities.  Oh,  no !  the 
stage  door  is  our  favorite  pastime;  but 
she  was  so  beautiful  and  so  friendly, 
we  were  a  bit  abashed. 

"Tom"  the  doorman  saw  our  plight 
and  came  to  the  rescue  with,  "Won't 
you  talk  to  the  young  ladies,  Miss 
Wong  ?  They  have  come  a  long  way  to 
see  you."  Miss  Wong  consented  and 
told  us  how  in  her  next  picture  she 
hoped  to  be  cast  for  pleasanter  roles, 
as  she  has  been  a  suicide,  a  murderess, 
or  something  equally  terrible  in  many 
of  her  pictures.  She  liked  Boston  and 
the  people  she  met;  she  was  going  -o 
New  York;  she  loved  her  work,  and 
then  she  said,  "I  am  afraid  I  will  have 
to  go  now,"  glancing  at  her  watcn;  "I 
have  a  few  minutes  in  which  to  dress. 
Good-bye,  and  if  you  ever  get  to  Holly- 
wood, look  me  up" — and  she  was  t;one.

SPORTS  ON  REVIEW 


Hello,  everybody!  Well,  this  is  the 
last  chance  that  I  will  have  to  catch  up 
on  some  of  the  outstanding  events  of 
the  present  spring  sporting  season.  We 
surely  hope  you  have  enjoyed  this  sec- 
tion in  the  past,  and  it  will  be  our 
privilege  to  try  to  make  this  last  one 
of  the  year  as  interesting  as  possible. 


* 


At  present  it  looks  as  if  Eddie 
(Lefty)  Howard  would  lead  the  bat- 
ters on  this  year's  ball  team.  Lefty  has 
been  very  steady  with  the  bat  this  sea- 
son, and  there  is  no  reason  why  he  can- 
not keep  it  up.  As  you  probably  know, 
Eddie  is  considered  one  of  the  finest 
outfielders  in  these  parts.  He  covers 
all  balls  hit  in  his  direction  with  grace 
and  ease  and  has  a  fine  throwing  arm. 


The  two  MacCarron  boys  are  surely 
doing  nobly  for  the  cause  of  this  year's 
team.  Capt.  Eddie  in  centerfield  and 
cousin  Willie  at  short  are  both  excel- 
lent players  defensively,  and  also  are 
heavy  hitters. 


Records  don't  stand  very  long  when 
our  track  team  gets  at  them.  Up  at 
Exeter  our  boys  strutted  their  stuff  in 
fine  style.  Benny  Niel  and  Johnny  Mul- 
hall  both  broke  long  standing  meet  rec- 
ords, with  the  relay  also  clipping  sec- 
onds off  the  relay  mark. 


The  tennis  team  with  only  one  vet- 
eran from  last  year  has  been  showing 
steady  improvement  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  Deane.  Phil  Cheney,  the  vet- 
eran, is  playing  the  No.  1  position. 


The  golf  team  still  reigns  supreme. 
With  scores  decreasing  with  each 
match,  defeat  does  not  seem  likely  to 
come  into  their  midst. 


Jimmy  LeCain  has  three  ball  teams 
playing  regular  schedules.  All  the 
teams  have  been  playing  good  ball.

BATTER  UP 

[An  Interview  with  "Rabbit"  Maranville,  Captain  of  the  Boston  Braves} 

By  Frances  Howley 


His  folks  called  him  Walter  James 
Vincent,  but  while  playing  with  New 
Bedford  some  years  ago  his  grotesque 
actions  and  drollery,  so  amusing  to  the 
fans,  caused  a  girl  to  say,  "Why,  he 
bounces  around  like  a  rabbit."  The  name 
stuck.  It  was  my  pleasure  to  interview 
this  same  man  and  I  confess  he  is  the 
most  likeable  rabbit  I  have  ever  seen.  It 
was  also  an  added  pleasure  to  meet  his 
very  charming  wife.  My  first  question, 
of  course,  was  about  the  "Rabbit  Ma- 
ranville Specialty,"  the  vest  pocket 
catch.  He  explained  that  he  catches  the 
ball  waist  high  because  it  seems  more 
natural  to  him.  He  is  sure  of  it  that 
way,  as  there  is  little  chance  of  drop- 
ping it.  Mrs.  "Rabbit"  Maranville 
nudged  me  and  whispered,  "Ask  him 
if  he  like  the  ladies."  So  I  asked,  "Do 
you  like  the  ladies,  Rabbit?"  Imme- 
diately his  face  lit  up.  "Oh,"  he  ex- 
claimed, "I  like  the  ladies  very  much, 
and  I  like  to  have  Ladies'  Day  here  at 
the  park."  This  was  said  right  before 
his  wife,  too.  Fearless  man!  "Rabbit," 
you  know,  was  a  member  of  the  ail- 
American  team  that  went  over  to  Japan 
last  fall.  He  had  a  great  time  over 
there,  and  he  likes  the  country  very 
much.  The  Japanese  ball  players,  he 
explained,  display  excellent  fielding 
and  pitching,  but  as  yet  they  have  not

"Hello,  boys!" 

"Sam!  Seems  like  a  long  time  since 
I  pulled  out  that  morning!  Sure  good 
to  see  you  again!" 

"Hello,  Sam!   How  are  ya?" 

"Fine,  Ray!    Say,  Chic,  how  did  you 

get  your  message  through?" 

"I  always  carry  a  set  of  ear-phones 
with  me.  They  have  clip-ends.  All  I 
can  remember  is  that  I  was  about  gone 
when  I  noticed  the  pole  down.  I 
crawled  to  it  and  found  the  wires  un- 
harmed. Then  I  clipped  my  phones 
to  the  proper  wires  and  got  you.  Sim- 


learned  to  bat  as  well  as  American 
players. 

The  Braves  line-up  has  been  changed 
considerably  this  year.  Where  Maran- 
ville played  shortstop  last  year,  he  now 
is  covering  second  base.  When  I  asked 
him  if  he  would  rather  play  short  stop 
than  second,  he  said  he  felt  more  at 
home  playing  short.  But  I  guess  as 
the  game  progressed  the  Braves'  oppo- 
nents thought  he  felt  pretty  much  at 
home  around  second  base,  too.  He 
played  a  flawless  game.  For  the  benefit 
of  you  fans  who  would  like  to  see  a 
World  Series  in  Boston,  "Rabbit"  has 
some  very  encouraging  reports.  He 
stated  that  the  Braves  are  going  strong 
this  year  and  will  continue  to  do  so, 
and  that  this  team  has  the  same  fight- 
ing spirit  as  that  miracle  team  of  1914 
displayed. 

Perhaps  you  have  wondered,  as  I 
have,  if  some  of  those  fantastic  stories 
told  about  Maranville  are  true.  I  was 
particularly  interested  to  find  out  about 
that  fish  story — the  one  where  he  was 
said  to  have  dived  into  the  aquarium  of 
a  hotel  lobby  and  come  up  with  a  gold- 
fish between  his  teeth.  He  assured  me 
that  this  was  a  true  fish  story. 

At  this  point  in  the  interview  the  bell 
rang  for  the  Braves  to  take  the  field, 
ending  my  talk  with  "Baseball's  Peter 
Pan." 


pie!  I  always  carry  'em.  But  if  it 
hadn't  been  for  Ray,  here,  I  wouldn't 
be  here  now!" 

"Aw,  it  was  nuthin'  swell  that  I 
did!" 

"Yes  it  was,  kid.  More  than  some 
could  go  through!" 

"It  sure  was,  Ray!  The  boys  and  I 
want  you  back  as  a  regular,  now,  and 
you  sure  deserve  it!  You  two  have 
shown  what  a  driver  needs — pluck  and 
grit!  The  boys  are  gonna  celebrate 
when  you  get  out,  and  they  want  to  be 
sure  you  both  come!  You  deserve  it! 
It  takes  more  than  a  truck  and  a  driver 
to  live  up  to  this  job — it  takes  a  man!" 


BASEBALL 


Quincy  High  opened  its  1932  base- 
ball campaign,  April  15,  at  Newton. 
The  Newton  opposition  proved  too 
strong  for  the  Quincy  aggregation,  and 
Quincy  returned  home  with  a  10 — 1  de- 
feat. On  April  26,  Quincy  broke  into 
the  win  column  in  a  big  way,  defeating 
Milton  15 — 3.  Weymouth  proved  a 
stern  foe.  but  was  turned  back,  3 — 2. 
The  strong  Boston  College  High  found 
Quincy  a  tougher  foe  than  expected. 
Although  B.  C.  H.  won  14— 9  it  was 
not  until  the  ninth  inning  that  they 
forged  ahead  and  captured  the  game. 
Huntington  took  Quincy  into  camp, 
5 — 4,  which  proved  to  be  a  most  in- 
teresting struggle.  Thayer  Academy 
visited  Quincy,  May  10.  Quincy  started 
with  "Toots"  Orlando  in  the  box. 
"Toots"  held  the  heavy  stickers  of 
Thayer  to  one  hit  in  the  first  six  rounds, 


but  blew  up  in  the  seventh  and  Thayer 
came  from  behind  to  win,  8 — 4.  The 
team  again  met  Thayer,  May  14,  but 
were  not  as  effective  as  previously  and 
took  a  10 — 0  loss  at  the  Academy's 
hands.  Brockton,  Quincy' s  biggest 
competitor,  turned  our  team  back  after 
nine  hard  innings  of  battling.  "Toots" 
Orlando  pitched  a  beautiful  game 
throughout,  but  weak  hitting  proved 
his  downfall. 

Games  outside  of  the  regular  sched- 
ule were  those  with  the  South  Quincy 
Cubs  and  the  Boston  Gear  Works.  Out- 
standing on  this  year's  team  was  the 
veteran  outfield  composed  of  Eddie 
Howard,  Capt.  Eddie  McCarron,  and 
Vin  Clancy.  Willie  McCarron  stood  out 
in  the  short  field  berth.  Jim  Shearer,  Jim 
McLaclan  and  "Toots"  Orlando  did  the 
the  bulk  of  the  pitching. 


TRACK 


With  about  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
five  candidates  reporting,  Coaches  Wil- 
son and  Hudson  set  to  work  to  develop 
another  strong  aggregation  for  which 
Coach  Wilson  is  noted.  Each  afternoon 
stiff  work-outs  were  held  at  the  oval. 
A    few    of    the   outstanding    aspirants 
went   up   to   New   Hampshire,   where 
Quincy  placed  third.    Johnny  Mulhall 
broke  the  meet  record  for  the  880  yard 
run.  The  relay  team  also  came  through 
and  broke  the  relay  record.   Don  Smith 
and   Danielson   also   helped   the   team 
with  important  points. 

Norwood,  where  Quincy  walked  to 
a  54 — 27  victory,  proved  a  good  work- 
out in  preparation  for  the  Harvard 
meet.  First  places  were  very  frequent 
with  the  Quincy  trackmen. 

At  the  Harvard  meet  held  May  14, 

Quincy  placed  fourth.   Johnny  Mulhal 

came  in  tie  for  first  in  the  880.  Benny 

Neil  and  Harty  Sass  also  scored  points. 

Future   meets  will  be  with  Water- 


town,  May  24;  Brockton,  May  27; 
Fitchburg  Relay  Carnival,  June  4;  pos- 
sibly an  Alumni  meet  on  the  17th  of 
June. 

Capt.  Frank  Delear,  Johnny  Mulhall, 
B?nny  Neil,  Harty  Sass,  Don  Smith, 
and  Danielson  registered  most  of  the 
Quincy  points  in  the  meets  that  have 
so  far  been  completed. 

Coach  Wilson  should  be  compliment- 
ed for  the  fine  work  he  is  doing  with 
the  boys.  Hardly  a  week  goes  by  that 
one  of  the  tracksters  does  not  either  tie 
or  break  a  record.  In  recent  years  the 
track  team  has  been  the  outstanding 
team  of  the  school.  It  has  placed 
fourth  or  better  in  all  the  important 
state  meets.  This  proves  that  the  track 
coaches  are  right  there  in  developing 
clever  and  successful  teams.  Track  has 
been  very  well  supported  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  school  with  goodly  num- 
bers reporting  each  season.  So,  good 
luck  in  the  future.

THE    GOLDEN-ROD 


TENNIS 

Phil  Cheney  was  the  only  veteran 
who  reported  to  Coach  Deane  when  he 
issued  the  first  call  for  tennis  candi- 
dates. With  a  difficult  schedule  already 
arranged,  Coach  Deane  had  no  easy 
job  to  build  up  a  successful  team  around 
one  veteran.  But  this  he  has  succeeded 
in  doing.  Although  it  will  take  consid- 
erable time  for  them  to  develop  the 
way  he  would  like,  improvement  has 
been  very  steady.  Most  of  the  new 
players  are  sophomores  and  Mr.  Deane 
is  building  a  team  for  the  next  two 
years. 

The  first  match  was  with  Milton 
Academy.  May  4.  The  result,  although 
not  in  Quincy's  favor,  proved  beyond 
doubt  that  the  right  material  was  pres- 
ent. The  score  was  4 — 3,  with  Milton 
on  the  long  end.  The  next  two  matches 
were  won  by  Quincy,  3 — 2  from  Milton 
and  5 — 0  from  Norwood.  Again,  on 
May  17,  Quincy  met  a  very  high  class 


team  and  was  turned  back,  3 — 2  by 
Brown  and  Nichols.  "Whitman  proved 
a  stumbling  block  and  beat  Quincy, 
4—1. 

Such  close  scores  with  such  powerful 
teams  lead  us  to  believe  that  with  im- 
provement the  team  will  be  sturdy 
enough  to  beat  the  fast  teams  in  the 
district  next  year. 

GOLF 

There  is  no  doubt  as  to  the  strength 
of  Quincy's  Golf  Team.  Up  to  date  the 
team  has  been  undefeated  on  its  home 
course  and  has  suffered  its  only  defeat, 
8 — 1',  at  the  hands  of  the  Exeter  team 
on  a  strange  course.  It  does  not  seem 
likely  that  the  team  will  taste  defeat 
again  if  it  keeps  up  its  present  steady 
playing.  The  team  is  being  coached  by 
Mr.  Albro  and  managed  by  Steve 
Kusser.  It  lines  up  as  follows:  1,  Dick 
Ruggles;  2,  Kenneth  Dunbar;  3,  Law- 
rence Cody;  4,  Capt.  Mario  Serafini;  5, 
Dick  Koons ;  6,  Eddie  Baldovin.

SPORTS  COMMENT 

By  John  Kroesser 

Well,  here  we  are  back  with  the  base- 
ball team  once  again.  In  spring  our 
fancy  turns  to  the  out  of  doors  and 
school  sports.  The  student  body  has 
shown  that  the  school  spirit  is  there, 
and  now  all  we  want  is  a  bigger  back- 
ing and  more  cheering  at  the  games. 

"Johnny"  Nelson,  who  is  holding 
down  the  hot  corner,  is  sure  doing  a 
bang-up  job  of  it.  He  seems  to  pick 
up  those  fast,  burning  grounders  like 
nothing  at  all.  He  is  also  hitting  the 
old  apple  for  "400"  or  more. 

"Ed"  McCarron,  the  captain,  is  sure 
setting  an  example  for  his  teammates  in 
regard  to  his  regular  batting.  "Eddy" 
is  also  hitting  for  a  high  average. 

"Lefty"  Howard  is  another  outfielder 
who,  like  "Ed"  McCarron,  has  proved 
himself  worthy  of  his  position  in  left 


field.  "Lefty"  has  been  pounding  the 
old  apple  out,  and  he  has  made  the 
first  baseman  look  sick  many  a  time. 

"Sam"  Asnes  is  doing  a  "wow"  of 
a  job  at  first.  He  is  hitting  the  old  pill 
with  an  average  with  the  best  of  them. 

The  baseball  team  as  a  whole  is  play- 
ing good  ball  and  it  is  getting  good 
pitching.  The  team  is  having  hard 
luck  when  it  comes  down  to  a  pinch. 
They  have  been  hitting  very  well  but 
not  at  the  crucial  moment.  The  infield 
has  been  making  it  very  hard  for  the 
pitchers  by  making  too  many  unneces- 
sary errors. 

Carl  Jepsen,  Johnny  Wickham  and 
Franny  Haynes  have  left  the  Quincy 
High  sport  circles,  but  will  be  remem- 
bered long  in  baseball,  football  and 
basketball  teams  respectively. 

Mr.  Wilson's  boys  on  the  track  team 
are  doing  a  fine  piece  of  work,  and 
their  ability  will  be  tested  with  Water- 
town,  Brockton,  and  Somerville.

THE    GOLDEN-ROD 


The  girls  under  Miss  Baker  are  be- 
ginning to  prove  that  they  are  right 
there  when  it  comes  to  showing  the 
school  spirit  in  sports.  Really,  girls  can 
also  make  records. 

The  tennis  team  has  been  going 
"aces"  and  has  won  its  games  steadily 
to  keep  in  the  "limelight"  of  Quincy 
High  School  sports  columns.  Mr.  Dean 
deserves  a  great  deal  of  thanks  for  his 
efforts  in  bringing  the  team  to  its  high 
standards. 

Mr.  Albro's  golf  team  is  getting 
along  fine  with  its  opponents.  They 
are  giving  all  they  meet  some  stiff  com- 
petition, and  they  are  finishing  on  the 
"bright"  side  of  the  score. 

In  regard  to  all  sports,  it  is  fifty  per- 
cent of  the  material  that  makes  a  good 
club  and  fifty  per  cent  up  to  the  student 
body  whether  or  not  there  is  a  good 
team  on  the  field.    The  school  needs 


your  assistance  and  school  spirit  to 
carry  its  name  to  victory.  Let's  all  keep 
up  that  "spark"  which  is  needed  in 
Quincy  High  School  sports. 

VOLLEY  BALL 

At  the  close  of  the  basketball  season 
Volley  Ball  started  off  with  a  bang. 
The  girls  showed  the  same  interest  in 
the  game  this  year  that  they  did  last 
year.  Because  of  the  scarcity  of  Sophs, 
teams  were  formed  from  the  Junior  and 
Senior  classes  only.  Each  class  had  two 
teams.  The  Senior  Blue  Team  clinched 
the  series  with  three  wins  chalked  up  in 
their  favor  and  no  losses.  The  girls  on 
the  winning  team,  who  will  receive  let- 
ters, include:  J.  Shaevitz,  G.  Stevens,  D. 
Badot,  V.  Owen,  S.  Oliver,  E.  Paulson, 
D.  French,  G.  Seagar,  and  H.  Wallan- 
der.

GIRLS'  BASEBALL 

Approximately  forty  girls  turned  out 
for  baseball  this  season.  The  first  game 
played,  the  Seniors  whitewashed  the 
Sophs  with  a  9 — 2  score.  The  game 
was  featured  with  a  home  run  by 
"Midge"  Evans,  the  Babe  Ruth  of  the 
Senior  team.  Although  the  series  has 
just  begun,  the  Seniors  have  a  sneaky 
suspicion  they  may  repeat  their  last 
year's  performance  by  taking  the  series. 
They  are  especially  confident  with  Cap- 
tain "Flo"  Cole  pitching,  "Midge" 
Evans  receiving,  and  "Gerry"  Sullivan 
covering  the  first  sack.  Five  games  are 
still  to  be  played  off. 

GIRLS'  TENNIS 

The  greatly  increased  interest  in  ten- 
nis is  evidenced  by  the  large  number  of 
girls  participating  in  the  tournament 
now  in  full  swing.    Forty  girls  entered 


the  singles  competition  and  there  were 
twenty  teams  starting  in  the  doubles. 
The  following  survived  the  third  round 
competition  in  the  singles:  Jessie  Shae- 
vitz,  Mary  Lamb,  Betty  Smith,  and 
Aino  Webster.  In  addition  to  these 
girls  there  are  some  others,  who  have 
not  yet  had  an  opportunity  to  play.  In- 
cluded in  these  is  Louise  Rood,  last 
year's  champion,  who  is  favored  to  re- 
peat this  year.  The  doubles  will  be 
run  off  after  the  singles  competition  is 
finished. 


A  snappy  little  car  entered  a  one  way 
street.  "Hi,  there,  Miss.  Do  you  know 
that  this  is  a  one  way  street?"  cried  a 
somewhat  dried-out  cop. 

"Well,"  answered  the  fair  Miss, 
"How  many  ways  do  you  think  I'm 
going?" 

After  this  remark  the  officer  blushed 
and  the  car  sped  on.

WHAT  SPORTS  DO  FOR  A  BOY 


"Get  into  some  kind  of  sports."  This 
is  the  sentence  that  is  probably  repeated 
among  students  more  than  any  other 
sentence.  We  have  heard  this  so  much 
that  we  laugh  at  the  fellow  who  says 
it.  It  seems  to  us  that  the  world  is  fast 
becoming  play  crazy.  Why  do  they  keep 
trying  to  make  us  go  out  for  sports  in 
High  School  ?  Why  don't  they  leave  us 
alone  and  build  up  one  powerful  team 
instead  of  these  twelve  or  fifteen  fair 
teams  that  the  school  has  ?  These  ques- 
tions are  in  the  minds  of  every  boy  in 
High  School  today,  but,  the  average 
High  School  boy  does  not  look  far 
enough  ahead,  and  so,  he  sees  no  an- 
swer to  these  questions;  but,  I  think 
that  I  have  found  the  answer:  "Ath- 
letics prepares  a  bov  for  the  Game  of 
Life." 

Perhaps  the  greatest  thing  athletics 
does  for  a  boy  today  is  to  bring  him  in 
contact  with  new  people  to  make 
friends  with  them.  When  a  fellow  goes 
out  for  sports,  he  meets  the  fellow^  he 
never  knew  existed  before.  It  makes 
him  feel  larger  and  the  school  with 
many  strangers  becomes  the  small  com- 
munity7, where  one  are  all.  and  all  are 
one.  In  fact,  it  is  sports  that  make  and 
keep  a  school  united  in  one  body.  New 
friends  mean  new  ideas,  so  that  his 
right-hand  knowledge  increases  as  well 
as  his  social  standing.  He  is  no  longer 
the  boy;  he  is  Dick  who  is  on  the  ball 
squad  and  is  making  good.  When  he 
plays  in  games,  the  local  business  men 
note  his  progress  in  games,  but  the  busi- 
ness men  are  even  more  interested  in 
how  he  gets  along  with  his  friends. 
They  hear  comments  of  him  from  their 
customers  who  may  know  him  through 
their  children  in  school.  These  busi- 
ness men  may  later  give  him  his  start 
in  life. 

Athletics  develop  strength.   Everyone 


knows  this,  but  few  understand  the 
value  of  strength.  It  builds  the  body, 
not  so  he  may  play  in  tomorrow's  game 
but  later  in  die  Game  of  Life.  What 
you  do  today  is  of  not  so  much  value 
for  the  next  day  as  it  is  for  the  later 
years  to  come.  Many  boys  go  out  for 
sports,  but,  because  they  do  not  make 
the  first  team,  they  quit.  They  are  mak- 
ing a  big  mistake  by  quitting  because 
the  coach  is  not  building  the  team  for 
tomorrow's  game.  He  is  building  them 
for  the  Game  of  Life  so  that  they  will 
not  wear  down  but  be  able  to  resist  the 
2;iant  forces  of  the  Human  Tide. 

The  fellow  who  plays  clean  in  sports 
will  play  clean  in  the  Game  of  Life. 
Sports  give  one  many  temptations.  If 
vou  can  conquer  foul  play  early  in  High 
School,  you  will  play  clean  later  in  life. 
Resisting  the  chance  to  put  the  other 
fellow  out  of  play  develops  a  strong 
will  power  that  mav  prevent  wars  in  the 
future. 

The  boy  in  High  School  gradually 
learns  to  help  the  other  fellow  to  mend 
his  faults.  This  is  called  Self  Sacrifice. 
It  is  developed  in  High  School  Athlet- 
ics. To  stop  and  help  the  other  fellow 
is  a  great  thing  and  it  promises  much 
to  the  fellow  who  will  stop  to  help. 

You  boys  of  today  are  yelled  at  by 
the  coach  because  the  coach  was  once 
a  boy  and  has  gone  through  what  you 
are  going  through  today.  He  knows 
the  value  of  athletics  and  is  doing  his 
best  to  see  that  none  of  the  boys  in  his 
school  miss  one  of  the  greatest  things 
in  life. 

Get  into  sports  and  think  of  it  as  a 
Prep  School,  a  School  of  Preparation 
for  Life.  Don't  miss  what  many  men 
wish  they  had  and  didn't  have  because 
they  didn't  realize  the  value  of  athletics 
until  later  years.

REPORT  OF  THE  SUBMASTER  TO 
THE  SUPERINTENDENT 

My  Dear  Mr  .Muir: 

I  hereby  inclose  my  semi-annual  re- 
port as  submaster  of  the  Kwinzy  hi 
Skule. 

The  annual  funds  received  from  the 
pony  in  the  lobby  has  decreased  nearly 
38  per  cent,  which  is  due,  I  believe,  to 
difficulties  which  prevail  at  the  present 
time.  With  the  collection  of  $1.53. 
which  was  received  entirely  in  pennies. 
I  was  forced  to  tell  the  June  '32  class 
that  their  dues  would  be  increased  from 
$2.00  to  $2,005  apiece,  which  if  col- 
lected, will  take  care  of  the  deficit.  I 
am  sure  that  as  soon  as  conditions  im- 
prove this  increase  in  class  dues  can  be 
removed  and  everything  can  be  placed 
back  on  the  Gold  Standard. 

The  rubber  milk  bottles,  which  the 
F  '32  class  willed  to  the  sophomores, 
were  gratefully  received,  but  if  things 
keep  on  going  as  they  have  been  in  the 
last  few  weeks  I'm  afraid  we  shall  have 
to  discontinue  their  use,  although  I 
hate  to  say  this.  The  number  of  milk- 
bottles  broken  daily  has  decreased  to  a 
negligible  amount,  but  the  number  of 
fatalities  is  constantly  increasing.  When 
these  bottles  are  dropped  they  will  re- 
bound and  sometimes  cause  a  lot  of 
trouble.  Only  last  week  I  had  to  stop 
a  senior  and  a  soph  from  fighting.  The 
soph  had  dropped  a  bottle  and  the  mis- 
sile rebounded  right  into  the  face  of 
a  senior  who  was  standing  near  by  with 
a  plate  of  soup  in  his  hand.    The  poor 


boy  besides  having  some  bad  burns  also 
got  a  nice  shiner  which  can  be  seen 
even  today.  So  you  see,  Mr.  Muir,  that 
something  has  to  be  done. 

Another  thing  that  bothers  me  great- 
ly is  the  large  amount  of  tardy  students 
coming  in  at  all  times  of  the  day.  I 
would  suggest  making  a  law  preventing 
all  those  coming  in  late  from  attending 
school  that  day.  With  a  system  like  this 
the  students  will  have  a  little  more 
leisure  time  for  themselves  and  I  could 
spend  my  time  to  better  advantage. 

Hoping  to  see  you  in  the  old  swim- 
min'  hole  this  summer 

I  remain,  Very  Truly  Yours, 

F  .B.  WILSON. 


Life  may  be  a  grind,  but  grinding 
sharpens  things. 


Heh,  Heh,  No  Wonder  He  Felt  So 
Funny 
?     ?     ?     :   "Where  do  bugs  go  in  the 
winter?" 

Soph,     (absent-mindedly) :     "Search 
me." 


Soph.:  "My  first  day  here  I  was 
struck  by  the  beauty  of  the  place." 

Senior:  "That's  what  you  get  for  get- 
ting fresh."

THE    GOLDEN-ROD 


In  the  last  issue  of  the  Golden  Rod 
we  published  a  letter  and  promised  to 
answer  it.  Here  it  is  and  we  think  that 
"there  is  still  a  chance." 

"Little  Joe," 

"You  Say  You're  Through,"  "Who 
Cares?"  "I  Was  Kicked  in  the  Head  by 
a  Butterfly"  "The  Day  I  Fell  for  You." 

"When  You're  Far  Away"  "All  the 
World  Will  Smile  Again."  "Sittin  on 
a  Rubbish  Can"  "Waiting  for  You  Is 
not  Mv  Idea  of  Heaven."  "Some  of 
These  Days,"  "Goof us,"  "Some  Little 
Bug  Is  Gonna  Get  You"  "I'm  Praying." 
"Mv  Lips  Wanted  Kisses"  "You  Gave 
Me  a  Mouthful  of  Jam." 

"My  Mom"  "Told  Me  All  About 
You,"  that  you  were  just  a  lot  of  "Blah! 
Blah:  Blah!"  "You  Were  My  One  and 
Onlv"  "Wrong  Number."  "I  Don't 
Know  Why"  "I  Don't  Hate  You." 
"You've  Got  That  Thing"  "I  Guess." 
Well.  "Please  Don't  Talk  About  Me 
When  I'm  Gone,"  you've  been  "Drag- 
gin'  My  Heart  Around"  too  much. 

I'm  "Just  a  Woman"  so  "Even 
Though"  "You  Done  Me  Dirt"  "I'm 
Still  Crazy  'Bout  You."  "Can't  We  Talk 
It  Over?" 

"Oh!  'Sawful" 

"K-K-K-Katy." 


She:  "Do  you  think  I  will  ever  be 
able  to  do  anything  with  my  voice?" 

Miss  Tuthill:  "It  might  come  in 
handy  in  case  of  fire." 


OF  COURSE  NOT,  JOHN.  GO 
AHEAD 

John  (bashfully) :  "Do  vou  think  a 
kiss  would  be  out  of  place,  Mary?" 

Mary:  "Not  if  you  have  any  sense  of 
direction." 


"BANG!   END   OF  ROUND   ONE" 
Hopeful  Hombre:    "I've  never  seen 

such  dreamy  eyes." 

Fed-up    Miss:    "That's   because  vou 

never  stayed  up  so  late  before." 


THE   GOLFER 

by  Browtniie  Whitehead 

Down  the  transplanted  heather 

There  comes  the  crv  of  "Fore!" 

Tis  the  golfer 

Upon  the  track 

Of  some  elusive  score. 

He  wields  a  wicked  mashie. 

A  tymie,  and  a  tee 

(I  speak  by  guess 

For  I  confess 
They're  all  the  same  to  me.) 
His  good  Highland  phrases 
He  freelv  punctuates 

With  Scottish  airs. 

But  when  he  wears 
It's  plain  United  States. 


An  old  Scottish  way  of  preventing 
seasickness  is  to  hold  a  quarter  between 
the  teeth  and  have  the  hands  tied  be- 
hind the  back. 


RAPID   CALCULATION 

She:    "What  do  you  do  when  you're 
run  down,  John?" 

He:    "Take  the  number  of  the  car." 


Putnam  is  a  hard  worker,  you  know. 
The  good  man  works  so  hard  that  he 
is  compelled  to  walk  in  his  sleep  so 
that  he  can  rest  and  exercise  at  the 
same  time. 


NO  KIDDIN'  EITHER 

Quite  a  few  wise  cracks  have  been 
made  about  the  popular  Austins,  but 
the  other  day  we  saw  a  fellow  with 
one  on  each  foot  using  them  as  roller 
skates.  Thank  heavens  we're  no  centi- 
pedes. 


FROM  THE  ANGELS,  NO  DOUBT 

Mr.  Thomas:  "Why  is  rain  water  the 
purest  form  of  water?" 

Chemist:  "Because  it  comes  from 
heaven."

WHY   INDUSTRY    NEEDS  ME 

(As  told  by  Oscar  R.  Tividdlewank  to  the  Blushing  Chimney-Sweep, 

E.  A.  Locke) 

XN  1930,  with  an  eye  to  the 
future  of  American  business, 
I  donated  a  colossal  edifice  to 
Industry  —  The  Weltum- 
Weezum  Toy  Company.  This  corpora- 
tion, fashioned  by  my  own  hands  after 
many  years  of  consideration,  completely 
revolutionized  the  existing  toy  business 
and  reduced  the  price  of  Teddy  Bears 
ten  to  twenty  percent. 

Where  before  the  Teddy  Bear  was 
made  of  common  camel  hair,  I  started 
the  national  nursery  cry  of: 

"Hair  from  Contented  Dromedaries." 
Only  the  finest  stuffing  fills  the  torso 
of  our  Weltum-Weezum  Teddy  Bear. 
Stuffing  made  of  the  choicest  of  silk- 
worm fur,  aged  \six  months  on  the 
steppes  of  Siberia  where  it  contends 
with  the  ravages  of  storm  and  the  force 
of  intense  heat.     True  Quality! 

Our  metal  soldiers,  made  from  the 
finest  of  "Hi-Test  Blue  Steel"  and  skill- 
fullv  painted  under  the  supervision  of 
Max  Factor,  successfully  ruined  the 
trade  of  rival  concerns  and  made  Young 
America  "war  minded."  In  every  nur- 
sery now  sounds  the  clash  and  glamour 
of  battle  as  the  Weltum-Weezum  So- 
gier  Wogier  conquers  his  weaker  rival 
of  lead.  American  Youth  prows  frantic 
for  bicker  and  better  bloodshed.  Hence 

DO 

the  pacifying  effect  of  the  Weltum- 
Weezum  Sabre  for  Shavers.  In  every 
up-to-date  nursery  sour.ds  the  clamor  of 
clashing  steel  as  the  juveline  colonels 
attempt  to  draw  first  blood — that  is,  it 
should. 

With  the  advent  of  the  move  to  ban- 
ish all  dangers  to  the  child,  we  find  con- 
ditions quite  serious.  No  longer  can 
American  youth  contract  measles, 
mumps,  smallpox,  bubonic  plague  and 
other  childhood  maladies  from  his  pets. 
Vegetable  Compound.  Listerine,  etc., 
rout  all  microbes  from  their  hiding 
places,  and  the  only  trouble  that  he 
can  gain  from  Rover,  his  pet  Airedale, 
is  a  mangled  forearm.  Putting  all  these 


needs  into  mental  notes,  I  withdraw  in- 
to my  workshop.  After  months  of  re- 
search I  come  forth  with  my  Weltum- 
Weezum  Rover  Dog,  a  very  realistic 
robot  with  needle-like  teeth.  When 
correctly  operated  Rover  should  fly 
about  the  room  and  sink  his  molars  into 
everything  human  in  sight.  In  his 
shaggy  coat  may  lurk  all  manner  of 
microbes  safe  from  the  searchings  of 
antiseptics.  It  may  be  truly  said  that 
endowed  mechanically  with  the  treach- 
ery of  an  ill-tempered  collie,  the 
strength  of  a  mastiff,  and  the  tenacious 
chewing  qualities  of  a  bulldog,  this  toy 
rakes  doubly  the  place  of  the  old  time 
nursery  pooch. 

It  is  with  some  difficulty  that  I  dwell 
on  the  subject  of  my  theme.  Does 
Industry  need  the  personal  supervision 
of  Oscar  R.  Twiddlewank?  Does  the 
manufacture  of  the  famed  Dillon  Dip- 
per depend  on  my  findings  and  prog- 
nostications ? 

Of  a  certainty!     Of  a  certainty! 

What  would  be  the  future  of  Ameri- 
can finance  if  the  great  captains  of  in- 
dustry should  refuse  to  co-operate? 
What  wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth  if 
we  should  dissolve  our  companies! 

If  at  the  present  time  I  should  shut 
down  my  factories  what  would  happen? 
Young  America,  missing  the  versatility

of  the  Weltum-Weezum  Toy  and  un- 
able to  content  themselves  with  the  in- 
adequacy of  other  brands,  would  fall 
into  a  decline  and  pine  their  little  hearts 
away. 

This  all  goes  to  prove  that  American 
Industry  and  The  Stockholder  both 
need  me.  It's  for  the  good  of  THE 
LITTLE  FOLK!!! 

Oh,  yeah??? 


YOUR  LASSOO,  COWBOY 
Teacher:  "Quiet,  there  goes  the  bell." 
Student:  "Whoa,  steady,  catch  it." 


One  fine  day  Miss  Goudey's  very  best 
English  class  was  working  on  a  test 
when  the  peace  and  stillness  (?)  of  the 
classroom  were  rent  by  a  loud  noise. 
Miss  Goudey  had  (just  imagine!) 
dropped  on  the  floor  a  box  of  POKER 
CHIPS.  Explanations  were  futile,  etc. 
Will  she  ever  hear  the  last  of  it?  By 
Joe! 

A  QUEER  TALE 

"Anything  to  declare?"  the  customs 
officer  asked  a  stylishly-dressed  lady. 

"No,  nothing." 

"Then,"  said  the  polite  official,  "I 
may  take  it  that  the  fur  tail  hanging 
beneath  your  coat  is  your  own?" 


Put  your  hat  on  Joe.    It  needs  block- 


ing. 


Reviewing  the  present  reversions  to 
old  styles  in  feminine  dress,  when  are 
we  going  to  get  back  to  caveman  era? 


For  heaven's  sake,  fellers,  kindly  ac- 
cept this  sound  advice.  If  you  are  plan- 
ning to  take  German  next  semester, 
think  twice,  because  if  you  have  a  fair 
mark  in  English  or  any  other  modern 
language  now,  your  next  report  card 
might  not  look  so  bright  if  you  have  to 
juggle  words  like  this: 

"Vierwaldstatterseedoppelschraubers- 
alondampferactiongesellschaft." 

This  even  beats  Ripley's  record. 


SO  LONG  AS  IT  DOESN'T  COME 
IN  QUART  BOTTLES  IT'S  O.  K. 

Miss  Goudey:  "Who  can  tell  me 
what  a  cloister  is?" 

Unc.  Walt:  "A  cloister  is  what 
grapes  come  in." 


OLD  TINSIDES 
By  Brownie  Whitehead 

(With  an  apology  to  Oliver  Wendell 
Holmes) 

Aye,  tear  her  battered  engine  down 
Long  has  it  throbbed  in  high 
And  many  an  eye  has  glanced  to  see 
Her  torn  roof  passing  by. 
Beneath  it  rang  the  policeman's  shout 
And  burst  the  traffic  roar 
The  mortar  on  the  boulevard 
Shall  sweep  the  streets  no  more. 

Her   sides   once   smeared   with   plastic 

mud, 
Her  horn  that  wouldn't  blow — 
When  winds  were  howling  on  her  hood 
And  tires  were  flat  below, 
No  more  shall  feel  the  soothing  touch 
Or  know  the  driver's  glee 
When  gear  shift  and  that  d -d  old 

clutch 
Are  working  perfectly. 


Bill,  (holding  his  nose  over  a  per- 
fume bottle) :    "Cheap  stuff,  hey?" 

Joe:  "Yep.  I  pay  five  dollars  a  quart 
for  mine." 


And  then  there's  the  Chem  stude 
who,  when  asked  what  he  was  doing, 
said,  "None  of  your  bismuth." 


Instructor:  "How  dare  you  swear  be- 
fore me?" 

Junior:  "How  did  I  know  that  you 
wanted  to  swear  first?" 


Bill  W —  uses  his  mother's  bread 
knife  as  a  razor,  but  one  day  she  caught 
him  and  gave  him  the  deuce  for  nicking 
the  edge.  Wire  haired,  no  doubt. 


CHOOSING  A  CAREER 


High  School  graduates  in  large  numbers, 
either  immediately  after  completing  their 
high  school  courses  or  even  after  they  have 
acquired  still  further  cultural  education,  find 
themselves  making  the  decision  to  seek  po- 
sitions in  business  rather  than  in  the  pro- 
fessions, in  order  that  they  may  the  sooner 
become  financially  independent.  At  such 
times  both  high  school  and  college  gradu- 
ates are  face  to  face  with  the  same  difficulty 
— that  of  persuading  employers  that  they 
possess  qualifications  which  may  be  devel- 
oped into  valuable  business  assets. 

Should  you  choose  to  enter    Business    as 
your  vocation,  it  would  be  well  for  you   to 
ake  an  inventory  of  your  assets,    and    con 
sider  whether  or  not  you  can  offer  an    em- 
ployer anything  that  he  would  be  willing  to 
purchase. 

Assuming  that  in  addition  to  your  educa- 
tion you  are  possessed  of    such  valuable  as- 


sets as  good  personality,  initiative,  willing- 
ness to  work,  etc.,  have  you  that  which  in 
the  eyes  of  the  employer  is  absolutely  essen- 
tial— -a  satisfactory  knowledge  of  the  funda- 
mentals of  business  practice,  without  which 
your  other  qualifications  are  of  little  value 
in  the  modern  business  office?  Lacking 
such  training  it  is  almost  impossible  to  se- 
cure admission  to  a  business  office;  much 
less  to  meet  successfully  the  severe  compe- 
tition of  those  who  with  less  cultural  educa- 
tion yet  are  possessed  of  a  practical  know- 
ledge of  business  fundamentals. 

Young  men  and  young  women  who  may 
be  interested  in  training  for  successful  ca- 
reers in  business  will  find  it  to  their  advan- 
tage to  write  to  Principal  L.  O.  White, 
Bryant  &  Stratton  Commercial  School,  334 
Boylston  Street,  Boston,  for  information 
regarding  Business  Administration  or  Sec- 
retarial Courses.  The  Summer  Session 
opens  July  5;  the  Fall  Session  September  6.
